1. Why are foods on sticks so much fun?
2. Why are Greek flavors so amazing?

I mean, let’s talk about this for a second here. Something about sticks make food just so much more fun. But I want to tell you that you can make this chicken without using the skewer. Just marinate the whole chicken breast, and grill until it reaches an internal temp of 165 degrees. But that is beside the point. Stick foods. It is like fair food. Something about putting meat, or a dessert on a stick makes it just that much tastier! Hence the skewers.

Furthermore, they are great for summer grilling, for lunches and portion control, for kids, and for easy meal prep. So, no matter what time of year it is, these are great.

Now let’s talk about the Greek thing. Greek flavors are some of my favorite to cook with. Dill, mint, lemon, olives, hummus, greek yogurt, garlic, the list goes on and on. It is good stuff, especially because it is simple but impactful. Tzatziki, for example, so much flavor, but so simple. Great as a dip, a sauce, eaten with a spoon, etc. Anyway, these chicken skewers hit all the right notes for me. They are healthy. Easy. Flavorful. Fun. I love dipping them into the homemade tzatziki, but they are also great with a drizzle of lemon, served with brown rice, or put into a pita with tzatziki. The possibilities are endlessly delicious.

If you want to use them for meal prep, these are some of the favorite containers: Meal prep containers (Plastic) or Meal Prep Containers (Glass) Enjoy!
