Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Juice and zest of 2 lemons
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cucumber, grated and drained
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, fresh dill, parsley, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken cubes and toss to coat well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for more flavor. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the tzatziki dip by mixing the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, dried dill, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve. After marinating, thread the chicken onto skewers and preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. Serve immediately with the tzatziki dip on the side.
