Ingredients:

Serving

1/4 cup olive oil
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cut into bit-sized pieces
6 oz plain greek yogurt
1/2 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded and grated
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp freshly-squeezed lemon juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp dried dill weed
1 pinch kosher salt

Directions:

For the marinade: Combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper; place in a large re-sealable plastic bag. Add chicken pieces to the bag, re-seal, and massage the marinade into the chicken. Let marinate in refrigerator for at least 3 hours, and up to 5 hours, turning and massaging bag occasionally.
Prepare the sauce: Combine all ingredients and refrigerate for at least 1 to 2 hours to allow the flavors to develop.
Soak 6 wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes OR have 6 metal skewers ready.
Heat grill to medium-high and lightly oil the grate.
Remove chicken pieces from marinade and thread onto the skewers, discarding the unused marinade.
Grill kabobs for about 6 minutes per side, until chicken is no longer pink in the center.
Serve with tzatziki sauce for dipping, or make pita sandwiches.
