Steps:
- Combine 1/4 cup olive oil, lemon juice, 2 cloves minced garlic, oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large resealable bag. Add chicken, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
- Mix yogurt, cucumber, 1 tablespoon olive oil, vinegar, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1 pinch salt together in a bowl. Refrigerate tzatziki sauce for flavors to blend, 1 to 2 hours.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Soak wooden skewers in a bowl of water for about 15 minutes.
- Remove chicken from marinade and thread onto the soaked skewers. Discard unused marinade.
- Cook the skewers on the preheated grill, turning frequently until nicely browned on all sides and chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 8 minutes per side. Serve with tzatziki sauce.

CHICKEN SOUVLAKI (GREEK KEBABS) LOW FAT
These kebabs are amazingly tender, even though it uses skinless chicken breasts. I served them with recipe number 214504 (Greek rice pilaf, although I add a chicken stock cube to that), tzatziki, fried mushrooms and grilled pitta bread. The kebabs are low fat, but you would never know it!

Steps:
- Cube the chicken. I usually cut each breast into 5 pieces.
- In a large non metallic bowl put the yoghurt, honey, olive oil, oregano, lemon juice and garlic salt and mix well to combine.
- Add the cubed chicken and mix well again. The chicken now needs to be left to marinate. I usually put the meat and the marinade into a large freezer bag to ensure it is really covered. Marinate in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
- When you are ready to cook, thread the chicken cubes onto skewers, about 5 pieces per skewer. Remember if you are using wooden skewers to soak them first so they don't burn.
- Grill under a medium grill until each side is browned. Cut one piece of the chicken in half to ensure it is cooked through. These can also be cooked on the BBQ.

Steps:
- Tip the chicken into a large bowl and add the marinade ingredients, along with 1 tsp salt and plenty of black pepper. Mix well, ensuring each thigh is well coated. Cover and chill for at least 3 hrs, or up to 48 hrs if you have time.
- A few hours before you want to eat, make the pitta. In a bowl, mix the flour, yeast, sugar and 1/ 2 tsp salt with your fingertips. Add 150ml lukewarm water and 2 tsp olive oil, and combine to a dough. Tip onto a work surface and knead for 8-10 mins (or use a tabletop mixer for 5 mins). Clean, then lightly oil your bowl, return the dough and cover loosely with cling film. Leave to rise for 1 hr or until nearly doubled in size.
- Divide the dough into four equal pieces. Roll out to circles, as thin as you can. Cover with sheets of oiled cling film and leave to rise for 15-20 mins.
- To make the tzatziki, halve the cucumber lengthways and scoop out the seeds. Finely chop, then combine with the remaining ingredients, along with a pinch of salt. Chill until ready to serve.
- Heat the grill to its highest setting. Line a roasting tin with foil and find 4 metal skewers long enough to sit across the top with a little space underneath. Remove the chicken from the fridge, take one thigh and thread it over 2 skewers, so it has a skewer through either side. Thread another piece of chicken on top, leaving a slight gap between each piece; you should fit 6 thighs on each pair of skewers. Position the skewers on top of the roasting tin and set aside while you finish the pittas.
- Heat a large frying pan (or two if you have them) over a medium-high heat and brush the breads with oil. Gently lift one into the pan. It should sizzle, and bubbles should appear on the surface after 1-2 mins. When the underside is golden, flip it and cook for another 2-3 mins. Continue until all the breads are cooked, wrapping them in foil as you go. Keep the bread warm in the bottom of the oven while you cook the chicken. Alternatively, cook on the barbecue for 5-8 mins, turning occasionally.
- Put the chicken under the hot grill and cook for 15-20 mins, brushing with oil and any juices from the bottom of the tin regularly, and turning halfway through cooking. Once cooked, remove from the oven and rest for 5 mins.
- Cut through each pair of skewers to make four kebabs and serve in the warm bread, with lettuce, tomato, red onion, lemon wedges and tzatziki.

EASY LOW FAT CHICKEN SOUVLAKI
This is souvlaki without the fat!!! My kids love it grilled in the summer but I sometimes broil it in the oven in winter. The original recipe called for the juice of a lemon plus the zest, but I prefer it without the lemon. Let me know which way you prefer it. This is a crowd pleaser.

- Add the chicken thighs, the olive oil, the lemon juice and the wine to a glass bowl or container. Add the onion powder, garlic powder, dried basil and oregano, and the salt and pepper.
- Toss everything together very well until it's combined and the chicken is evenly coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl or container with some plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (I've let it marinade for 4-5 hours with great results!).
- After the chicken has marinated, remove it from the fridge and preheat your grill or skillet. Once your grill or skillet is preheated (grease the skillet with the canola oil first) discard the marinade and cook the chicken on low heat for about 8-9 minutes on the first side or until the chicken has browned nicely. Don't overcrowd your skillet or grill as this will prevent the browning process, and that's where all the flavour is!
- Turn the chicken and brown on the other side until it has browned completely and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (75 degrees Celsius). This should take about 4-5 minutes.
