Greek Style Chicken Skewers

These caught my eye from the April/May issue of Taste of Home.  Taste of Home is the first cooking magazine I started getting regularly YEARS ago.  These are grilled and super easy to make.  I think this would be something my sister could make for the niece and nephew...they are not big meat eaters but they do like chicken and what is more fun that chicken on a stick??

3/4 C. reduced fat plain yogurt
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. poultry seasoning
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. grated lemon peel
1/4 tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp. pepper
1lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips

In a bowl, combine all ingredients, tossing lightly,  Refrigerate chicken for 10 minutes or for up until 8 hours.

Remove chicken from marinade and discard marinade. Thread chicken onto eight metal or soaked wooden skewers.  Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack.

Grill chicken, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 inches from the heat 5-7 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink, turning once.
