Chicken Souvlaki with Tzatziki Sauce
Ingredients:
Souvlaki:
3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp. chopped fresh or 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
2 tsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp. salt
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 lb. skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium zucchini, quartered lengthwise and cut into 1/2 inch thick slices
Cooking spray
Tzatziki Sauce
1/2 c. cucumber, peeled, seeded, and shredded
1/2 c. plain low-fat yogurt
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1/4 tsp. salt
1 garlic clove, minced
Directions:
To prepare souvlaki, combine the first 5 ingredients in a zip-top plastic bag, seal, and shake to combine. Add chicken to bag; seal and shake to coat. Marinate chicken in refrigerator for 30 minutes, turning once.
Remove chicken from bag; discard marinade. Thread the chicken and zucchini, alternately onto each of 4 (8-inch) skewers.
Heat a grill pan coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add skewers; cook 8 minutes or until chicken is done, turning once.
To prepare tzatziki sauce, combine cucumber, yogurt, 1 Tbsp. lemon juice, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1 garlic clove, stirring well. Serve the tzatziki sauce with souvlaki.
