Ingredients
Chicken Souvlaki
- 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
- 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 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.
- Served the grilled chicken souvlaki with the tzatziki sauce.
