Grilled Chicken Kabobs with Cucumber Yogurt Sauce

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds skinless boneless chicken breast or thighs (cut into 1 inch cubes)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons dried za’atar or oregano
  • 1 clove crushed garlic
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
  • lemon wedges for serving

Cucumber Yogurt Dip (makes 1 1/4 cups)

  • 3/4 cup plain low fat plain Stonyfield yogurt
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped cucumber (peeled and seeded)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 tablespoon fresh dill (chopped)
  • 1/2 tablespoon fresh mint (chopped)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • fresh black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

To make the marinade:

  • Mix lemon juice, olive oil, za’atar, garlic, salt, and pepper together. Put chicken in a zip-locked bag and pour marinade over it. Marinate the chicken at least 2-3 hours or as long as overnight.

For the kabobs:

  • If using wooden skewers, soak in water at least 30 minutes if grilling outdoors (I usually double them up so they are easier to turn).
  • Prepare the yogurt sauce by combining the ingredients in a medium bowl. Refrigerate until ready to eat.
  • Thread chicken onto the skewers. You should have 4 kabobs total.
  • Preheat the grill over medium heat, oil the grates and cook (indoor or outdoor grill works fine) until the chicken is cooked though, turning often about 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Serve with lemon wedges and yogurt sauce.
