Ingredients: Kebabs: ¼ cup olive oil 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 teaspoon dried oregano ½ teaspoon salt 1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into bite-sized pieces 6 wooden skewers, or as needed Tzatziki Sauce: 1 (6 ounce) container plain Greek-style yogurt ½ cucumber - peeled, seeded, and grated 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 teaspoons white vinegar 1 clove garlic, minced 1 pinch salt Directions: For the kebabs: Combine olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, oregano, and salt in a large resealable bag. Add chicken, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air and seal the bag; marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours. For the tzatziki sauce: Mix yogurt, cucumber, olive oil, vinegar, garlic, and salt together in a bowl. Refrigerate sauce for flavors to blend, 1 to 2 hours.
