Chicken Souvlaki & Tzatziki Sauce {recipe}

A favourite in our house. Easy & healthy too.My husband (Mr3P), who is from Greek heritage tells me that souvlaki means "on a stick"...it's his VERY loose translation. In fact he tells me that if you can poke it with a stick, then it's souvlaki (in his mind anyways). This is a family recipe that was given to me. Yes, it's simple, but aren't some of the best recipes?

Chicken Souvlaki

Chicken breast fillets

Lemon juice

Crushed garlic

Olive oil

Dried oregano

Salt

Cut chicken into cubes and place in a non-metalic bowl
Add other ingredients and mix well
Allow to marniate for as long as possible (at least 15mins) or you could freeze them at this stage
Meanwhile, soak wooden skewers in water (this will prevent burning the skewers later)
Thread the chicken onto the skewers. You could freeze at this stage too.
Pan fry or bbq, turning occasionally until cooked through. In the pan, I like to use glad bake or similar (like here), this prevents the marinde from burning and clean up is easy.

Tzatziki sauce

Greek yoghurt

1/2 cucumber, peeled and finely grated

1 BIG teaspoon of crushed garlic

salt

finely shredded, fresh mint

mix ingredients together
best made earlier, so the flavours can get to know each other a little better
yummy as a dip, served with veggie sticks.

You can also serve with pita bread (my recipe here).

I'd like to start a link party for healthy, wholesome recipes for the family. Would you be interested in joining in? I'll be back a bit later. to get it started.
