Instructions

Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes. In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, diced cucumber, minced garlic, chopped dill, lemon juice, 1/2 tsp salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Stir to combine.

Add the chicken cubes to the tzatziki marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, leaving a small space between each piece.

Preheat your grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C).

Brush the grill grates or grill pan lightly with olive oil. Place the chicken skewers on the hot grill.

Grill for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

While the chicken is grilling, lightly toast the whole wheat pita bread until warmed and slightly crisp.

Serve the tzatziki chicken skewers immediately with the warm pita bread. You can optionally serve with extra tzatziki on the side.
