Shawarma Skewers with Garlic and Herb Tzatziki


Shawarma Skewers with Garlic and Herb Tzatziki
Take a little trip to the Mediterranean on any old Tuesday with this zesty sandwich. Get a head start by marinating the chicken ahead of time before dinner. Everything else comes together easily, and everyone gets to build their own wraps. If you don’t mind firing up the grill, cooking the chicken and toasting the pitas adds an amazing smoky flavor. But hey, the stove totally works too.

Ingredients
- 1.5 Lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- Juice and zest of 2 lemons
- ¼ Cup olive oil
- 1 Teaspoon salt
- 1 Teaspoon crushed garlic
- ½ Teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 x 8oz Container Oolie Garlic and Herb Dip
- 1 English cucumber
- 4 Pita breads
- 4 Tablespoons pickled red onions
- ½ Cup of chopped ripe tomatoes
- 1 Handful of fresh mint leaves, torn
Instructions
- In a sealable container big enough to hold the chicken: whisk together the lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper and olive oil. Add the chicken thighs to the container, seal, give it a good shake and marinate refrigerated for a minimum of 30 minutes (overnight is even better!).
- To make the Tzatziki, use a cheese grater to shred the whole English cucumber. Wrap the shredded cucumber in a clean towel and ring out as much liquid as you can.
- Mix the cucumber and 1 x 8oz Container Oolie Garlic and Herb Dip together and set aside.
- When ready to cook, remove the chicken from the marinade and thread onto skewers for ease of cooking. (This is optional but it looks fantastic and will prevent you from losing any smaller pieces through the gaps). Cook on the grill or in a frying pan in a little oil until the internal temperature reaches 165°f. Toasting the pitas on the grill is delicious, but not essential, so don’t worry if you are cooking inside.
- To serve, spoon the Tzatziki onto the Pita, add the chicken, then top with tomatoes, pickled onions and torn mint leaves.
