Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, mix 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp dried oregano, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Add 1.5 lbs of cubed boneless skinless chicken thighs to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  3. Step 3: While chicken marinates, prepare the tzatziki by combining 1 cup Greek yogurt, 1/2 grated and drained cucumber, 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill, and 1 tsp lemon zest in a small bowl. Mix well and chill.
  4. Step 4: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers and grill for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and slightly charred.
  5. Step 5: Serve the chicken souvlaki hot with a side of chilled tzatziki sauce.
