PERFECT weekend for a BBQ!⠀
⠀
makes about 4 servings⠀
⠀
Ingredients: ⠀
1.5 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2-inch pieces ⠀
1 Tbsp olive oil, or avocado oil ⠀
1 tsp dried oregano⠀
1 tsp dried thyme⠀
1 tsp cayenne⠀
sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste, about 1/4 teaspoon each ⠀
For the Tzaztiki dip:⠀
1 cup plain whole Greek yogurt⠀
1/2 cup seeded, grated cucumber⠀
3 Tbsps chopped fresh dill⠀
2 Tbsps fresh lemon juice⠀
3 fresh garlic cloves, minced⠀
sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste ⠀
Serving Ideas: lemon wedges, chopped tomatoes or cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, bell peppers, red onion, etc. ⠀
Instructions:⠀
Start by making your Tzatziki dip: combine all ingredients in a bowl/jar, taste test, adjust as desired, then refrigerate until ready to use.⠀
⠀
If using wooden skewers, allow them to begin soaking in water for at least 20 minutes, to prevent burning.⠀
⠀
Next, preheat your grill to medium-high.⠀
⠀
In a medium bowl, add your chicken pieces and sprinkle with oregano, thyme, cayenne, sea salt and pepper, then drizzle with oil, and toss and stir well to coat.⠀
⠀
Thread 3-4 pieces of chicken onto each skewer as shown, then arrange them on the grill with some space in between each skewer. ⠀
Close the grill lid and cook for about 7 minutes until chicken is cooked through, flipping them a couple of times during cooking time.⠀
⠀
Serve skewers with Tzatziki dip, lemon wedges, and your favorite fresh chopped veggies! ❤Rachel
