Traditional Greek souvlaki is the perfect portable street food - meat grilled on a skewer and served on pitta bread with tzatziki sauce, tomatoes, onions and, sometimes, fries.

Serve it alongside a Greek salad of chunked tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and feta cheese.
Instructions to make Greek Souvlaki & Tzatziki Sauce:
- Prick the chicken with a fork in several places, sprinkle generously with salt and pepper, and cut into bite-sized pieces. Salt well, or the flavor will dissipate.
- Combine the ★ ingredients to make the sauce. Put the sauce and the meat in a bag and marinate for at least 2 hours. If possible, let it marinate overnight for the flavors to soak in well.
- Add the grated garlic, lemon juice (olive oil), salt and pepper to the sour cream (drained yogurt). Refer to the ※ notation below the ingredients list.
- Soak the skewers in water for about 5 minutes to prevent them from burning. Thread the meat onto the skewers. You can also grill the meat as is, without skewers.
- Grill until well browned, or bake in a 200℃ oven for 15 minutes, turning them once. They're fantastic cooked on a barbecue.
- Arrange the souvlaki, rice, vegetables such as cucumbers or tomatoes, and the sauce on serving plates and it's ready! Dip the meat and vegetables in the sauce and enjoy.
- Oregano is the key ingredient to this dish's ethnic flavor. Keep it on hand for use in all kinds of ethnic cooking, such as Italian, Mexican, or Greek.
- Try the standard accompaniment to Souvlaki: "Oregano-scented Addictive Lemon Potatoes". - - https://cookpad.com/us/recipes/154399-oregano-greek-lemon-potatoes
- I recommend eating the chicken without the sauce first, then dipping it in the sauce to enjoy two different tastes.
- To drain the yogurt, just leave it in a coffee filter overnight. The yogurt version is healthier.
