For those who asked... here's a basic recipe for chicken souvlaki. I used the hurried cook's method and didn't marinate or grill. Just cut up the chicken, threw it in a hot pan with a bit of EVOO, then grated in a garlic clove and a bit of lemon zest, tossed in a bit of oregano and a tad of rosemary and cooked till doneness was achieved. It was excellent!

Chicken Souvlaki

.

Chicken breasts

Fresh minced garlic

dried oregano

lemons

olive oil

Salt

Pepper

.

Cut chicken breasts into 1 inch cubes
.

Place on wooden Skewers that have been soaked in water
(prevents sticks from burning.. or on metal skewers.
.

Rub with fresh minced garlic and dried oregano
.

Squeeze fresh lemons over chicken and some olive oil
.

Salt and pepper
.

Marinate for up to 1 hour. If marinating longer do not add
lemon juice until the last hour. Lemon juice "cooks" the flesh and changes the
texture.
.

Place on hot grill and turn often until done. Serve with
Greek salad and rice.
.

NOTE: This recipe works well with Pork or Lamb

I've read dozens of recipes for the 'sicky' (tzataiki) sauce. I just started with plain yogurt (still haven't been able to find Greek yogurt around here), sprinkled in a healthy helping of dill, chopped and squeezed cucumber bits, a dash of red wine vinegar, some fresh grated garlic, a smidge of lemon zest and a nip of EVOO. (OK, I forgot the EVOO, but it was still delicious.)

If you 're more comfortable with a structured recipe, try this one. Anghelika's tzatziki.

Have a JESUS-filled day! ^i^
