Greek Feast - Chicken Skewers and Tatziki

Matt and I made this together in about 40 minutes. If you marinate the chicken longer, it would be more delicious (if that's possible!) but we were hungry. Also, we forgot to get feta and used mozzarella instead which is why it's in the picture. It was still really good.

Greek Chicken Skewers

Yields 2-3 servings

Ingredients

2 chicken breasts, cubed
6 wooden skewers, soaked
Handful of fresh mint leaves, chopped
Handful of fresh oregano leaves, chopped

1 tsp fresh ground black pepper

1/2 cup feta, crumbled
6 romaine lettuce heart leaves, fine sliced
6 Greek Pitas
tatziki (recipe follows)

Instructions

1. Cube your chicken breast and trim fat.
2. Put your chicken cubes into a container. Add the mint, oregano, red wine vinegar, evoo, sea salt black pepper and crushed garlic. Mix well. Put in fridge while you prepare the tatziki and toppings.
3. Chop tomatoes, crumble feta in bowl, wash and slice lettuce and get your pitas ready to heat.
4. Make your tatziki! See below.
5.  You can marinate your chicken much longer, but if you're super hungry you can start skewering now. Heat your BBQ.

Tatziki

Ingredients

1 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cup cucumber, grated and squeezed of juice
1 tbsp dried dill weed
1 lemon, juiced
1-2 garlic gloves, crushed
1 tsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp salt

Instructions

1. If you want to make the tatziki really thick, start 2 hour ahead and put your Greek yogurt in a wire mesh strainer over a bowl, set in the fridge, and extra water will strain out of it, leaving you with all the good stuff. I didn't do this. So don't worry if you don't have time!
2. Okay. Put your yogurt into a bowl.
3. Grate the cucumber and squeeze out all the extra water.
4. Put grated cucumber, lemon juice, dill, crushed garlic, red wine vinegar and salt into the yogurt bowl and mix well,
5. Heat up your pitas in the oven on low for 6-7 minutes.
6. Now that you've prepped all your toppings and grilled the chicken, you are ready to assemble your yummy Greek pitas!
