Grilled Chicken Souvalki with Tzatziki
Grilled Chicken Souvalki with Tzatziki
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Dairy Free Tzatziki Sauce:
- 1 cup raw cashews, soaked 4-6 hours (or overnight)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup cucumber, peeled and diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tsp sea salt
Instructions:
- Chop each chicken breast into approx 1.5 inch chunks and place in a bowl. Add all remaining chicken souvlaki ingredients and stir together. Place the bowl in the refrigerator and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- To make the tzatziki sauce, drain and rinse the cashews and place in a high-powered blender. Add the water and lemon juice and blend on high for 2-3 minutes, or until creamy. Add the remaining tzatziki sauce ingredients to the blender and pulse a few times, just until combined. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator. (Note: the tzatziki sauce can be stored for 3-4 days in the refrigerator).
- Heat the grill on medium-high. Place the marinated chicken pieces on skewers (approx 8-9 pieces per skewer makes 6 skewers) and cook on the grill for 3-4 minutes each side. Enjoy!
Serving Size = 3 ounces of chicken with 2 teaspoons of tzatziki sauce
