Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1.5-inch chunks
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 lemon, zested and juiced
• 2 tsp dried oregano
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 English cucumber, grated and squeezed dry
• 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes

Directions

1. In a large bowl whisk together olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, parsley, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
2. Add chicken chunks to the marinade, toss well to coat, and let sit for at least 15 minutes at room temperature while you prep everything else.
3. Stir together Greek yogurt and grated cucumber with a pinch of salt to make a quick tzatziki, then refrigerate until serving.
4. Thread marinated chicken onto 8 skewers, alternating with red onion wedges.
5. Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat and lightly oil the surface.
6. Cook skewers for 4 to 5 minutes per side until the chicken is nicely charred and cooked through with no pink in the center.
7. Arrange skewers on a large platter alongside cherry tomatoes, extra parsley, lemon wedges, and the tzatziki for dipping.
8. Serve immediately with warm pita or fluffy rice if desired.
