Ingredients

• 1. 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cubed 2. 3 tbsp olive oil 3. 3 cloves garlic, minced 4. 1/4 cup lemon juice 5. 1/4 cup fresh oregano, chopped 6. 1/2 tsp sea salt 7. 1/4 tsp black pepper 8. 1/4 tsp ground cumin 9. 1/4 tsp paprika 10. 1/4 tsp ground coriander 11. For Tzatziki Sauce: a. 1 cup plain Greek yogurt b. 1/2 cup cucumber, finely chopped c. 2 cloves garlic, minced d. 1 tbsp lemon juice e. 1 tbsp olive oil f. Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken thighs with olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, fresh oregano, salt, black pepper, cumin, paprika, and ground coriander. Mix well, ensuring that each piece of chicken is coated evenly in the marinade.
2. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight for optimal flavor.
3. Preheat your grill or broiler to medium high heat.
4. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece.
5. Grill or broil the skewers for about 8 10 minutes, turning frequently and cooking until the chicken is cooked through.
6. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the tzatziki sauce by combining Greek yogurt, finely chopped cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small mixing bowl. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
7. Remove the skewers from heat and allow them to rest for 2 3 minutes before serving.

Chef’s Insight

1. Allow the marinade to penetrate the chicken by refrigerating it overnight for a more flavorful dish. 2. Be mindful of not overcooking the chicken, as this can result in dry and tough skewers.

Notes

1. For an added touch, serve the dish with a side of Greek-style salad or roasted vegetables. 2. The skewers can also be served cold for a quick and satisfying meal prep option.
