Instructions
Creating Chicken Tzatziki Skewers with Feta Fries is a simple yet rewarding task. Follow these easy steps:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the cubed chicken and stir to coat. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the Tzatziki Sauce: In another bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste and refrigerate until ready to serve.
3. Prepare the Feta Fries: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the cut potatoes in olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer.
4. Bake the Fries: Place the potatoes in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden and crisp, turning halfway through. In the last five minutes of baking, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top to melt slightly.
5. Cook the Skewers: While the fries are baking, preheat a grill or grill pan on medium heat. Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers and grill for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
