Directions: |
Directions:Place chicken and marinade into a bowl or zip lock bag and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to overnight.
Thread chicken onto 8 skewers.
Heat 1 T. olive oil in a large skillet over high heat or preheat a grill and oil the grids. Cook skewers for 3 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
Serve Chicken Souvlaki on pita or flatbread with lettuce, tomato, red onion, and tzatziki
TZATZIKI:
Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise. Use a teaspoon to scrape the watery seeds out. Coarsely grate the cucumber using a box grater. Then wrap in paper towels or a tea towel and squeeze to remove excess liquid.
Place cucumber in a bowl. Add remaining ingredients then mix to combine. Set aside for at least 20 minutes for the flavors to meld. |

Notes: To make ahead, pop the chicken and the marinade in ziplock bags and freeze. Then the chicken will marinate as it defrosts. Thread onto skewers and cook per recipe directions.
