Ingredients

  • about 680 g Chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup Olive oil
  • 1/4 cup Lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 8 Wooden skewers
  • 1 medium Cucumber
  • 1 cup Coconut yogurt (unsweetened)
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh dill

  • 1/2 Red onion
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives
  • 1 Green bell pepper

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1Cut the about 680 g of chicken breasts into 2.54 cm cubes. Peel and mince the 3 cloves of garlic.
  2. 2In a bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 2 teaspoons dried oregano, the minced 3 cloves of garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. 3Add the about 680 g of chicken cubes to the marinade. Stir to coat, cover the bowl, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. 4While the chicken marinates, prepare the tzatziki. Peel and grate 1 medium cucumber. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the grated cucumber. In a separate bowl, combine the squeezed grated cucumber with the 1 cup coconut yogurt and 2 tablespoons fresh dill. Mix thoroughly and refrigerate.
  5. 5Prepare the Greek salad. Chop the 2 tomatoes, 1/2 red onion, and 1 green bell pepper into bite-sized pieces. Place the chopped vegetables in a bowl and add the 1/2 cup Kalamata olives. Toss gently to combine.
  6. 6Thread the marinated about 680 g of chicken cubes evenly onto the 8 wooden skewers.
  7. 7Preheat your grill to medium heat. Grill the 8 chicken skewers for 15-20 minutes, turning them occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has an internal temperature of 74°C.
  8. 8Serve the 8 chicken skewers immediately with the prepared dairy-free tzatziki and the Greek salad.
