Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine the 1.5 pounds chicken thighs, boneless and skinless, cut into 1.5-inch cubes, with the 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon dried oregano, 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped, 2 cloves garlic, minced, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Thread the chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving space between each piece. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates. Cook the skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and cooked through.
  3. Step 3: While the chicken cooks, whisk together the 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon dried dill.
  4. Step 4: Serve the chicken skewers with the lemon-yogurt sauce drizzled over the top.
