Greek Souvlaki Yumminess
I love grilling in the summer. Let me take that back, I love when Andy grills what I want to eat in the summer:). I actually make this recipe in the house but I thought I would take it up a notch and make it on the grill...or ask Andy to make it on the grill after I get everything prepared.
Marinade:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3 tbs lemon juice
1 tbs oregano
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
(Make extra marinade or keep some to the side for veggies...don't mix with the meat because that is dangerous and gross:))
Place all ingredients in a bowl or ziploc bag and marinate in the refrigerator for an hour.
Cook chicken on the grill to internal temperature of 165 degrees.
Skewers:
Cherry tomatoes
2-4 Squash and zucchini
2 onions
Marinate veggies and skewer. Cook on grill until tender.
Grill whole wheat pita bread briefly to warm.
When all items come off the grill, take veggies off the skewer, give chicken a rough chop and combine in a bowl. Add 1/2-1 container of Feta cheese and stir together (I like feta...so I add a lot. You can also get reduced fat).
Tzatziki Sauce Recipe:
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced
1 container of plain greek yogurt
1 tablespoon of dill weed, dried
1 tbs lemon juice
2 tbs olive oil
2 cloves garlic
1 tbs red wine vinegar
Combine all and place in refrigerator until ready to serve.
Assemble pitas with items from the grill and tzatziki sauce. Some people add lettuce to their pitas, I do not prefer it. Hope you enjoy!
