Instructions

1. Step 1: Cut 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes. In a bowl, mix 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 tsp dried oregano, 3 cloves minced garlic, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Add chicken cubes and marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours in the refrigerator.
2. Step 2: While chicken marinates, prepare tzatziki by combining 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/2 grated and drained cucumber, 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill, 1 tsp white wine vinegar, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1/4 tsp salt in a bowl. Mix well and refrigerate.
3. Step 3: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Thread marinated chicken cubes onto skewers. Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and has grill marks.
4. Step 4: Serve the grilled chicken skewers hot with chilled tzatziki sauce on the side for dipping.
