Instructions

Greek Lemon Chicken Skewers

Whisk together all of the ingredients except the chicken in a bowl. Add the chicken and the marinade to a freezer bag. Press out the air and seal the bag. Massage the marinade into the chicken and let it marinate for at least an hour.

Heat the grill to medium-high heat. While the grill is heating, thread the chicken onto metal or wooden skewers. If using wooden skewers be sure to soak them in water for 30 minutes.

Oil grill grates or grill pan and place the chicken skewers on them. Grill the chicken for 3-4 minutes then flip it over and grill for another 3-4 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

Tzatziki Sauce

Take the shredded cucumber and use your hands to squeeze out the excess liquid. You can also place it in a clean dish towel or paper towels and squeeze out the liquid.

Place the cucumber into a bowl along with the remaining tzatziki ingredients. Stir together until combined. Taste for seasoning and add any additional lemon juice, salt and pepper as needed. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
