Categories: Poultry, Citrus, Vegetables, Dairy, Herbs

1 1/4 lb Boned, skinned chicken;
- trimmed of excess fat
1 ts Salt
2 tb Plain yogurt
2 cl Garlic; minced
1 tb Minced fresh oregano
+=OR=+
1 1/2 ts Dried oregano
1/8 ts Fresh ground black pepper

- for the grill
2 Lemons, thin sliced

MMMMM--------------------------TZATZIKI-------------------------------
1 c Plain yogurt
2 cl Garlic; minced
1/2 ts Kosher salt
1/8 ts Black pepper
1 tb Lemon juice
1 Cucumber; peeled

If using bamboo or wooden skewers, place them in water
to soak while you prepare the recipe. You'll need either
4 flat skewers or 8 regular round skewers.

Cut the chicken in 1 1/2" to 2" chunks. Place in a bowl
and sprinkle with salt. Add the yogurt, minced garlic,
oregano, pepper, lemon juice, and olive oil to the bowl
with the chicken, stir to combine. Marinate for 30
minutes to an hour.

While the chicken is marinating, make the tzatziki. In a
medium bowl stir to combine the yogurt, minced garlic,
salt, pepper, and lemon juice.

Grate the cucumber with the large holes of a box grater.
Place in a strainer and press with your hands to squeeze
out excess moisture. Add the grated cucumber to the
yogurt mixture.

Prepare your grill for direct high heat. While the grill
is heating, prepare the skewers. Use either flat bamboo
or metal skewers or double up regular bamboo skewers so
that the chicken is easier to turn on the grill. Thread
the chicken pieces onto the skewers with a lemon slice
folded over like a taco between each piece of chicken.

When the grill is ready brush the grill grates with a
little olive oil (use a paper towel folded over several
times and dipped in olive oil, hold with tongs). Brush
some olive oil over the chicken skewers as well. Place
the chicken skewers directly over the hottest part of
the grill and cover the grill.

Allow to sear on one side (about 2 to 3 minutes), then
turn the chicken skewers over to the other side, cover
and cook 2 to 3 minutes more, until the chicken is
browned and just cooked through.

Remove from grill and serve immediately with tzatziki
sauce.
