Ingredients
- 16 bamboo skewers
- 3 lemons
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh oregano leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 16 chicken tenders, about 1 1/2 pounds
- 2 cups Greek style yogurt
- 1/2 seedless cucumber, peeled and grated
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Directions
Soak skewers in water for about 30 minutes.
Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Combine the zest and juice of 2 lemons, oregano, red pepper flakes and olive oil in a dish. Paste the garlic by mashing it with coarse salt then add 3/4 of it to the marinade, reserving some for dipping sauce. Add chicken tenders to the marinade and season with salt and pepper, turn in marinade to coat, let stand 10 minutes. Thread tenders on damp skewers and cook 7 to 8 minutes, turning once, until firm and juices run clear.
While skewers cook, combine yogurt with juice of remaining lemon, remaining clove of garlic, grated cucumber, cumin and salt, to taste. Divide the dip among 4 ramekins.
Serve 5 skewers per person with dipping sauce alongside.

Very easy to make, excellent macros for those of you watching them (high protein/low carbs/low fat. Made it tonight, amazing flavor except next time I'll use a bit less lemon for the sauce, it came out a bit tart. The left over sauce makes a good salad dressing. This is going to be in my regular rotation of chicken breast recipes (I eat it 4x/week

I love this recipe. It is part of our regular rotation of meals. I don't usually put the chicken on the sticks though - just grill them up and then eat them in greek pita bread. So much flavour!
