Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 pinch salt
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons white vinegar
• 1 (6 ounce) container plain Greek-style yogurt
• 1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into bite-sized pieces
• 6 wooden skewers, or as needed
• ½ cucumber - peeled, seeded, and grated

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Prepare kabobs: Combine olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, oregano, and salt in a large resealable bag. Add chicken, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air and seal the bag; marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

Step 2

Prepare sauce: Mix yogurt, cucumber, olive oil, vinegar, garlic, and salt together in a bowl. Refrigerate sauce for flavors to blend, 1 to 2 hours.

Step 3

Soak wooden skewers in a bowl of cold water for about 15 minutes. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 4

Remove chicken from marinade and thread onto the soaked skewers. Discard unused marinade.

Step 5

Cook the skewers on the preheated grill, turning frequently until browned on all sides and chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 7 to 8 minutes per side. Serve with tzatziki sauce.
