Greek Chicken Souvlaki with Tzatziki

For 2 servings

• chicken breasts, cut into chunks2
• olive oil2 tbsp
• Juice of 1/2 lemon
• garlic clove, crushed1
• dried oregano1 tsp
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• natural yoghurt100 g
• cucumber, grated1/4
• garlic clove, crushed (for the tzatziki)1/2
• fresh dill or mint, chopped1 tsp

1. 1

   In a bowl, mix the chicken with the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Cover and leave to marinate for at least 20 minutes.

2. 2

   If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 10 minutes to stop them burning.

3. 3

   Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers.

4. 4

   Heat a griddle pan or frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the skewers for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, turning occasionally, until golden and cooked through with no pink in the middle.

5. 5

   While the chicken cooks, grate the cucumber and squeeze out the excess liquid using your hands or a clean tea towel, this keeps the tzatziki thick rather than watery.

6. 6

   Mix the grated cucumber with the yoghurt, remaining garlic and dill or mint in a small bowl.

7. 7

   Serve the skewers hot with the tzatziki alongside, plus flatbread or a simple salad if you like.
