  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. Delicious greek marinated chicken and a tzatziki dipping sauce 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)Delicious greek marinated chicken and a tzatziki dipping sauce Enjoy!

    Your instructions say "preheat oven to 400 degrees" and then it says to grill the chicken. At what point is the oven being used in this recipe? Is the grill supposed to be heated to 400? This looks delicious.

      Kerena, Oh man, that means I missed a step. I was trying to include an option for cooking for those that do not have a grill. But yes, grill or oven at 400 degrees. Thanks for asking for clarification.

    Can you explain the nutritional info? Is that for all of the chicken and all of the dip? How is the marinade calculated into it? Making it now and it smells so amazingly good!!

      The nutritional information is tricky on this one. The marinade is included in the nutritional info I shared. But I would recommend calculating it yourself based on what you use. I am not an expert on nutritional. Sorry!

    Had this dish tonight! It was delicious. I did change the marinade to only 1/4 cup of oil and added some water for the difference. I have three sons and they ate their plates clean!
