GREEK LEMON CHICKEN SKEWERS WITH TZATZIKI SAUCE

...these Greek Lemon Chicken Skewers with Tzatziki Sauce were top notch and
couldn’t be easier to make!

...The flavors aren’t overpowering and the food itself never leaves me feeling stuffed and like I need to go lay down and take a nap after I eat. Greek salads are on the top of my list of favorites because feta and kalamata olives, hellooo! Second to that is chicken souvlaki, which is essentially what these Greek lemon chicken skewers are.

Tzatziki sauce is a Greek yogurt based sauce flavored with lemon juice, garlic, and dill. Then for more fresh flavor and texture a diced up cucumber is added in. The sauce is thick, creamy, and downright addicting! I seriously think I could slather it on all my meals this summer. These light, healthy, and super delicious chicken skewers are sure to make you a fan of outdoor cooking!
