Long and warm summer days are in front of us, many funny barbeques with our friends so for these occasion my choice are of course chicken skewers. I really like to cook and I really enjoy in it but I enjoy the most when I prepare something for my family and friends. When it is summer we usually have barbeque with our friends and that’s our favorite part of these warm days. I am the happiest person when my family and friends are happy. We live that busy live and we don’t have enough time for each other so when we are all together we forget on our problems, jobs and just enjoy in friendship, nature and of course food.
I prepare chicken very often in my kitchen but because we are going to enjoy in nature this time I would make Greek Chicken Skewers with homemade Tzatziki Sauce. Chicken is the most delicious when you marinate it a day before. Today I will cut chicken breast into 1 inch chucks and add fresh lemon juice, olive oil, red wine, vinegar, oregano, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper. Remove the chicken from the marinade and thread the chicken onto metal or wooden skewers. You will see how chicken will get that moist and nice flavor. We usually prepare chicken on the barbeque, but you can prepare it in a grill pan or in the oven.
These chicken skewers are the best in combination with Tzatziki sauce. I prepare it very often because my children like it very much. While the chicken is cooking make the sauce. Puree all sauce ingredients in a blender or food processor, cover and chill until ready to serve. If you are done with your job activities, it is time to enjoy with your family and friends in this Greek Chicken Skewers with Homemade Tzatziki sauce. Enjoy!
