Grilled Chicken 🐓 Skewers with Tzatziki 

Chicken:

27.3 oz. raw boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into 2” pieces~ Yields 18 oz cooked (3 leaners)

4 tsp olive or avocado oil (4 healthy fats)

1 tsp. each dried oregano and thyme (2 condiments)

1 /2 tsp. cayenne (1 condiments)

salt & pepper to taste, about 1/4 tsp. each (1 1/2 condiment)

Tzatziki:

12 oz. plain low-fat Greek yogurt (1 leaner)

1/2 C. grated cucumber (1 green)

3 T chopped fresh dill

2 T fresh lemon juice (3 condiments)

3 garlic cloves, minced (3 condiments)

salt & pepper to taste, about 1/4 tsp. each (1 1/2 condiments)

Veggies:

3 1/2 cups sliced cucumber (7 greens)

2 cups sliced cherry tomatoes (4 greens)

Directions:

-For Tzatziki dip, combine all ingredients and refrigerate until ready to use. 

-If using wooden skewers, soak in water at least 20 minutes to prevent from burning. Preheat grill to medium-high.

-In a bowl, add chicken pieces and sprinkle with dry herbs/salt & pepper. Drizzle with oil and toss to coat.

-Thread chicken onto skewers and arrange on grill with some space in between each skewer.

-Close grill lid and cook about 7 min. until chicken is cooked through, flipping a couple times during cook time.

-Serve skewers with Tzatziki dip, lemon wedges, and your favorite chopped fresh veggies! (You can add these to your skewers if you’d like).
