Recipes:
Grilled Greek Skewers
Serves 10
Marinade
2 Lbs of boneless skinless chicken breast or boneless leg of lamb, cut into one-inch cubes
¾ Cup of lemon juice
2 Tbs red wine vinegar
¾ Cup of olive oil
4 cloves of crushed garlic
1 Tbs chopped fresh oregano
1 Tbs chopped fresh dill
Kosher salt
Fresh ground pepper
Small Wood (soaked in water for 2 hours before using) or metal skewers
Whisk together all ingredients. Pour over chicken breast and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate 2 hours or overnight. Remove chicken from marinade shaking off any excess. Place 3-4 pieces of chicken on each skewer.
To cook the chicken:
Preheat the grill or oven to 400*. Grill the chicken on each side for 3-4 minutes OR bake on a cookie sheet for 8-10 minutes, turning once.
Serve with Whole Wheat Pita, Yogurt dill sauce, and cracked wheat salad with cucumber and tomato.
Yogurt Dill Sauce
