MAKES 8 SKEWERS | PREPARE & COOK 1 hour 20 minutes
Prepare
Instructions
Start by soaking the bamboo skewers in water. Cut the chicken into 3cm chunks and transfer to a mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and stir until everything is coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or longer if you want a more intense flavour.
Turn on the grill to a high heat (or prepare your barbecue for cooking). Remove the chicken from the fridge and layer onto the skewers. Once the grill is hot, place the skewers into cook for around 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until browned and sizzling.
While the skewers are cooking prepare the sides. Pour the lemon juice into the tzatziki and stir. Brush the pita bread with olive oil and place on a hot griddle pan to warm. Finally combine the tomatoes, feta and red onion.
Once the skewers are ready serve immediately with the sides and enjoy!
