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
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the dairy-free tzatziki. Start by squeezing the grated cucumber in a clean towel to remove excess water.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Preheat the grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 7
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, alternating with slices of red onion.
Step 8
Grill the skewers for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice charred appearance.
Step 9
Lightly grill the pita bread on each side until warm and slightly toasted.
Step 10
Serve the chicken skewers with grilled pita, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper slices, and a generous drizzle of the dairy-free tzatziki sauce.
