Servings: 4
Calories: 264kcal
Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1 inch pieces
Chicken Marinade:
- ¼ cup nonfat greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon dill
- ½ teaspoon thyme
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Cut chicken into 1 inch pieces. Set aside.
- Add all of the chicken marinade ingredients to a small bowl. Mix well.
- Place the chicken marinade and chicken into a large ziploc bag. Shake well so the marinade covers all of the chicken.
- Let the bag of chicken sit in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
- Metal skewers work best. If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them for about 30 mins prior to chicken being done (this prevents the skewers from burning).
- Slide a few pieces of chicken onto each skewer.
- Place the chicken skewers onto a heated grill for 10-15 minutes over medium-high heat. Cook until chicken is cooked through (internal temp of 165 degrees) and yogurt is no longer wet. (Note: Depending on your grill type and distance from flame, greek yogurt may cause flare ups during the cooking process.)
- To portion, divide into 4ths; for a more exact portion measurement, divide total food weight (not including dish) by 4.
- Serve with extra lemon and tzatziki sauce.
