Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cut 1 lb boneless chicken thighs into 1-inch cubes and place in a bowl. Add 3 tbsp lemon juice, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Toss well to coat and marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  2. Step 2: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers, leaving a little space between pieces.
  3. Step 3: Grill the chicken skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning every 3 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and has char marks.
  4. Step 4: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt with 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill and 1/4 cup grated cucumber that has been drained of excess water. Mix until smooth.
  5. Step 5: Serve the hot grilled chicken skewers alongside the yogurt dip for a refreshing contrast.
