Ingredients

Chicken Skewers

340 grams Chicken Thighs skinless, boneless
½ cup Olive oil
2 tsp Garlic Chopped
¼ cup Lemon Juice Freshly squeezed
1 tsp dried Oregano or Italian Seasoning
1 tsp Salt
Pepper to taste

Tzatziki Dip

½ cup Greek Yogurt
½ cup Cucumber grated, salted, squeezed
1 tsp Garlic chopped
1 tbsp Olive Oil
salt and pepper

Instructions

Prepare chicken by deboning and removing the skin. Cut in to equal pieces.
In a container large enough to fit the skewers, mix lemon, olive oil, pepper, oregano and garlic.
Place chicken on skewers, about 4 - 1" wide pieces per skewer. Set in the container with oil and lemon mixture. Repeat. Use a spoon or tongs to evenly coat the skewers with the lemon and oil marinade. Let sit for 2 hours in the refrigerator, covered.
While the chicken skewers are marinating, shred the cucumber and salt it, mix it and squeeze to remove excess water. Combine yogurt, squeezed cucumber and garlic and mix. Add salt if needed. Refrigerate until ready to serve with a drizzle of olive oil.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and place the skewers on it.
Bake in the oven at 350℉ for about 45 minutes.
