Chicken Souvlaki
Marinade
Tzatziki Sauce
Directions
Combine all ingredients for the marinade, whisk together and place in zippered storage bag.
Place chicken in the marinade and let sit, refrigerated, for a minimum of 2 hours, or up to 1 day.
Combine all ingredients for the Tzatziki sauce and place in whisk together (for a very smooth texture and to lessen the work of finely dicing the cucumber, all may be combined in a food processor for ease). Refrigerate until ready for use.
When ready to grill, remove chicken from the marinade and thread the strips onto wooden skewers that have soaked in water for at least 20 minutes to help prevent them from burning on the grill.
Place the skewers on grill of at least 375°F over direct heat and cook, turning often, until chicken begins to brown and reaches a minimum internal temperature of at least 165°F.
Serve with Tzatziki Sauce, sliced tomatoes and onion.
