Chicken Souvlaki

Lemony, oregano-scented chicken skewers tucked into warm pita with cool cucumber tzatziki.

Ingredients

• 600 g chicken thighs, cut in chunks
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 3 tbsp lemon juice
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tsp dried oregano
• 200 g Greek yoghurt
• ½ cucumber, grated and squeezed dry
• 4 pita breads
• 2 tomatoes, sliced

Method

1. Mix the oil, lemon juice, two of the garlic cloves and the oregano. Coat the chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes (overnight is even better).
2. Make the tzatziki by stirring the yoghurt, cucumber, remaining garlic and a pinch of salt together.
3. Thread the chicken onto skewers. Grill or griddle over high heat for 10 to 12 minutes, turning, until charred and cooked through.
4. Warm the pitas. Fill with chicken, tomato and a big spoon of tzatziki.
