Opa!! This was a huge success tonight. I even got Chris to thoroughly enjoy 2 vegetables that each have more than 3 syllables! I used my Foreman grill but I am sure this will be a fan favorite on the outdoor grill all summer.
Souvlaki
3 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp. chopped fresh oregano or 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
2 tsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp. salt
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into 1-in pieces
1 medium zucchini, quartered length wise and cut into 1/2-in thick slices
cooking spray
Tzatziki sauce
1/2 C. cucumber, peeled, seeded, and shredded
1/2 C. plain lowfat yogurt
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1/4 tsp. salt
1 garlic clove, minced
To prepare souvlaki, combine the first 5 ingredients in a zip top plastic bag; seal and shake to combine. Marinate chicken in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, turning once.
Remove chicken from bag; discard marinade. Thread the chicken and zucchini alternately onto 8-in. skewers.
Heat a grill pan or grill. Add skewers; cook 8 minutes or until chicken is done; turning once.
To prepare tzatziki sauce, combine cucumber, yogurt, lemon juice, salt and garlic clove; stirring well. Serve tzatziki sauce with souvlaki.
