For the chicken souvlaki

  • 2.5 lbs thighs skinless, boneless, cut into bite size pieces
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons oregano
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • salt and pepper

For the tzatziki sauce

  • 3 cups Greek yogurt plain
  • 3/4 cucumber grated and water squeezed out

For the platter

  • 2 tomatoes diced

Instructions
