Chicken souvlaki is one of my favorite Greek street food items! Tender chicken soaks in a bright lemon garlic marinade, then it’s threaded on skewers and grilled until perfectly juicy and charred.
Consider this recipe a more simplified version of my Greek chicken kabobs or shish kabobs. Unlike kabobs (which are grilled with vegetables), souvlakis are simply skewers of meat and are meant to be served with fresh-cut veggies or even a Greek salad. But the finishing touch is a mandatory drizzle of tzatziki sauce all over everything.
If you love Mediterranean recipes and easy dinner ideas, this recipe was meant for you!

Seems delicious, very healthy and I’m going to do it this weekend but, as a doctor, some positive criticism: Loose your rings and bracelets to cook. Even in washed hands there is the same number of bacteria under a ring as there is people in my country (250 million!). Under a bracelet, well, that of Asia (more than 2,5 billion…)
Looks delicious, however I am here looking for Whole30 meals and Greek yogurt is not compliant. I am watching your Whole30 playlist. Obviously I can simply omit the tzatziki but I was here hoping you had a Whole30 tzatziki sauce.
I like to make it
