Ingredients:
1 1⁄2 lb boneless , skinless chicken breast , cut into bite sized pieces
1 container (6 oz) plain greek yogurt
1⁄2 cucumber , peeled , seeded , and grated
1⁄4 cup olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 clove garlic , minced
1 tsp dried oregano
1⁄2 tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic , minced
1 tsp dried dill weed
Instructions;
First , combine 1/4 cup olive oil , 2 tablespoons lemon juice , 2 cloves minced garlic , oregano , and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large resealable bag.
Then , add chicken , coat with marinade , squeeze out excess air , and seal the bag.
Marinate in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
Do not marinate longer , otherwise the acid in the lemon juice will start to "cook" the chicken and make it tough.
Mix yogurt , cucumber , 1 tablespoon olive oil , 2 teaspoons lemon juice , 1 clove minced garlic , dried dill , and a pinch of salt together in a bowl.
Refrigerate tzatziki sauce for flavors to blend , 1 to 2 hours.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
If using wooden skewers , soak them in a bowl of water for about 15 minutes.
Remove chicken from marinade and thread onto the skewers.
Discard remaining marinade.
Cook skewers , turning frequently , until nicely browned on all sides and the chicken is no longer pink in the center , about 8 minutes per side.
Serve with tzatziki sauce.
Note:
For thicker tzatziki sauce , place grated cucumber in a colander , sprinkle lightly with kosher salt , and let it sit for a while to drain.
Squeeze out any extra moisture before mixing with the other ingredients.
