Tender and juicy chicken is easy to achieve with this simple marinade and a few minutes on the grill. All you need is a few staple ingredients to whip up these grilled chicken skewers with tzatziki: It’s perfect for an afternoon picnic in the backyard or weeknight dinner with the family. Grilling the chicken on skewers results in nice crispy edges and the use of Grilling Addiction Dry Rub Seasoning means it's perfectly flavored in every bite. You could even add to the dish by chopping up bell pepper and red onion and adding them to the skewer. Grilled lemon would go great squeezed on top of these skewers too! Mediterranean-inspired flavors shine through this chicken thanks to olive oil, lemon, garlic, and parsley.

Tzatziki is a traditional mediterranean dip made of yogurt, cucumber, lemon, and garlic. If you’ve never tried it, it’s worth the taste! The tzatziki is the perfect refreshing addition to these juicy grilled chicken skewers. Simply dip the chicken pieces in the creamy sauce before enjoying. It could be served alongside baked potato fries (also great with the tzatziki) and rice and vegetables for a full, complete meal.
