How to Grill the Chicken<\/h2>\n

Preheat the gas or charcoal grill to medium-high. Use a paper towel dipped in oil and tongs to lightly grease the grill grates. Slide the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers without overcrowding.<\/p>\n

Place the chicken skewers on the grill and allow them to cook for\u00a010-15 minutes, gently turning them a couple of times during grilling until the chicken is golden and cooked through.<\/p>\n

Make sure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165\u00b0F (74\u00b0C) in the thickest part of the meat. Remove the chicken skewers from the grill onto a platter. <\/p>\n

A backyard grill is ideal, but a stovetop grill pan is a great option on days when barbecuing outdoors isn\u2019t an option. The key is to mimic the direct high heat and searing effect that an open flame produces.<\/p>\n

Heat grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the chicken skewers on the grill pan and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165\u00b0F (74\u00b0C) in the thickest part of the meat.<\/p>\n

How to Make Tzatziki Sauce<\/h2>\n

Use a box grater to shred the cucumber finely. This step ensures the sauce has a smooth, well-distributed cucumber flavor.<\/p>\n

Place the grated cucumber in a fine mesh strainer over a bowl and sprinkle with salt. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes to release excess moisture. Squeeze out any remaining liquid from the cucumber using your hands or a clean kitchen towel.<\/p>\n

In a mixing bowl, combine the strained yogurt, minced garlic, olive oil, chopped dill, and lemon juice. Add the grated cucumber to the yogurt mixture and stir well to combine.<\/p>\n

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, and add additional chopped dill (or mint) if desired.<\/p>\n

Cover and refrigerate the Tzatziki for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.<\/p>\n

Serve the grilled chicken souvlaki with tzatziki sauce, warmed pita bread, and lemon wedges.<\/p>\n

Spreadable dips like hummus<\/a> (made from chickpeas) or melitzanosalata<\/a> (made from roasted eggplants) are excellent for pairing with chicken souvlaki.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
