Lemon Greek Chicken Skewers with greek yogurt and lemon marinade is a quick and easy Healthy chicken dish perfect as a main course or for salads and sandwiches.
Lemon Greek Chicken Skewers are a fantastically easy recipe to make and they have a boldly flavored marinade which flavors the chicken but also tenderizes it. Growing up my mom was always marinading chicken kebabs in greek yogurt (this happens when your family is middle eastern, we always marinade in yogurt!).
