The other day I was at the grocery store and got a great price on chicken tenders. I decided that they were perfect to make a Greek dish called Chicken Souvlaki. The most important step to achieving a wonderful flavor for your souvlaki is to marinate your meat for a good amount of time. The flavors of lemon, garlic and cumin soak into the meat and make it so moist and delicious. You can eat it on a bed or rice or in pitas like we did. I also grilled some zucchini and made a fresh tzatziki sauce to round out this Greek style meal.
Ingredients:
Chicken tenders (marinated)
1-2 medium zucchini
1 onion sliced
1 tomato sliced
Tzatziki sauce (recipe to follow)
Pita pockets
Marinate for every pound of chicken:
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tsp of oregano
1/2 tsp of ground cumin
2-3 cloves of garlic grated
salt and pepper to taste
Allow meat to marinate for 4-8 hours before grilling.
Grill 1/4 inch slices of zucchini that is salt and peppered.
Grill the chicken tenders next until they are fully cooked through. Gather all the other condiments and make your Tzatziki sauce. Assemble your pita with all the ingredients and enjoy.
