Grilled chicken kabobs with homemade taziki

I loved this tonight.. I just came up with it kinda spur of the moment following a friends recipe I memorized so measurements might be kinda random! I LOVE taziki.. There are a few Greek places we eat at a lot and the taziki is always our favorite.. It's pretty easy to make too! My favorite is to eat the chicken and taziki together... SO good. Hope you try it out!

Taziki

1 large cucumber- peeled and sliced
1 and a half Cups plain Greek yogurt
2-3 garlic cloves, minced
Kosher salt
2-3 tbs Lemon juice
1 tbs Dried dill

First sprinkle some salt on the cucumbers and set them in a colander for like 20 min and then squeeze out any excess water

In a bowl add garlic, yogurt, lemon juice and dill and a sprinkle of salt- add cucumbers
Chill for at least an hour
I sprinkle a little more dill on before serving

Grilled chicken

2 large chicken breasts cut into pieces
Sprinkle of Italian dressing mix
Sprinkle Ranch dressing mix
2 tbs Balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing
A little olive oil
Lemon juice
Salt and pepper

In a small bowl combine all together and let chicken marinate for at least an hour
Put onto skewers and grill them up!
