Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 medium, grated Cucumber
- 1 cup Dairy-free yogurt
- 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh dill
- 1 small, sliced Red onion
- 150 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 1 sliced Bell pepper
- 4 pieces Pita bread
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well to coat the chicken.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a stronger flavor.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the dairy-free tzatziki. Start by squeezing the grated cucumber in a clean towel to remove excess water.
Mix the grated cucumber with dairy-free yogurt, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and fresh dill in a bowl. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Preheat the grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, alternating with slices of red onion.
Grill the skewers for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice charred appearance.
Lightly grill the pita bread on each side until warm and slightly toasted.
Serve the chicken skewers with grilled pita, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper slices, and a generous drizzle of the dairy-free tzatziki sauce.
