• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp Kosher salt
• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• For the Greek Yogurt Sauce:
• 1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp lemon juice (adjust to taste)
• 1/2 cup grated cucumber, squeezed to remove excess liquid
• 1/4 cup fresh dill, minced
• Kosher salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste
• To Serve:
• 1 English cucumber, sliced
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes, quartered

Method

1. 1

   Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, zest, olive oil, honey, red wine vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the minced garlic and chopped parsley. Toss in the chicken chunks, ensuring they’re well coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes (or longer if refrigerated).

2. 2

   Prepare the Yogurt Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, grated cucumber, and minced dill. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

3. 3

   Assemble the Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken onto 6-8 skewers. If you’re using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning.

4. 4

   Grill the Chicken: Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium heat. Cook the chicken skewers for 10-12 minutes, flipping a few times, until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).

5. 5

   Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the chicken skewers on a platter with the yogurt sauce on the side. Add sliced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and Kalamata olives for a vibrant and healthy meal.
