Greek-style Grilled Chicken Skewers with Cucumber Sauce
Greek-style Grilled Chicken Skewers with Cucumber Sauce is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for any occasion. This dish is made with tender chicken pieces that are marinated in a flavorful blend of Greek herbs and spices, then grilled to perfection on skewers. The chicken is served with a refreshing cucumber sauce that is made with Greek yogurt, fresh cucumbers, and dill.
To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:
For the chicken skewers:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
For the cucumber sauce:
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup diced cucumber
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
To make the chicken skewers, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece. Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly charred.
To make the cucumber sauce, combine the Greek yogurt, cucumber, dill, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Stir to combine.
Serve the chicken skewers with the cucumber sauce on the side. This dish is perfect for a summer barbecue or a weeknight dinner. The chicken is tender and flavorful, with a hint of smokiness from the grill. The cucumber sauce is cool and refreshing, with a tangy flavor that complements the chicken perfectly.
