Method

5 steps. Tap one to mark it done.

  1. Prepare the chicken souvlaki marinade by mixing the minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, and sea salt inside a medium-sized bowl. Put the cubed chicken breasts into this mixture, stirring thoroughly so every piece is covered, then allow it to marinate for a minimum of 15 to 30 minutes.

  2. Slide the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers. Cook them over medium-high heat using a BBQ grill or a preheated grill pan for approximately 8 to 10 minutes, rotating them now and then, until they are golden-brown and the inside reaches 165°F (74°C).

  3. To prepare the tzatziki, wrap the grated cucumber in a clean dish towel or paper towels, wringing it out to remove as much liquid as you can. In a bowl, stir together the drained cucumber, Greek yogurt, fresh dill, extra virgin olive oil, and sea salt to taste, then keep it cold until serving time.

  4. Assemble the Greek salad by tossing the chopped cucumber, peppers, vine tomatoes, and red onion together in a large bowl. Add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle with dried oregano and sea salt to taste, and carefully incorporate the Greek feta cubes.

  5. Present the hot chicken souvlaki skewers on a plate with the fresh Greek salad and chilled tzatziki.
