Need Chicken Souvlaki Recipe (6/02)

[Lee]

I took this recipe with me when I went to visit my parents in Tennessee. They loved it so much that I just left my copy out there. My poor husband has been eating nothing but bachelor food while I've been gone (cereal, toast, frozen meals, etc.) and I would love to cook this for him tonight. Can someone please post this recipe for me?

TIA

I don't see the recipe on that thread--only the turkey gyros recipe (which also looks great!)

2. Combine 1 teaspoon garlic and the next 6 ingredients (1 teaspoon garlic through chicken breast) in a large zip-top plastic bag. Seal the bag and shake to coat. Remove chicken from the bag. Grill or broil chicken 5 minutes on each side or until done. Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces.

3. Combine chicken, cubed cucumber, and the next 4 ingredients (cubed cucumber through tomatoes) in a large bowl. Combine yogurt and remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Pour over chicken mixture; toss well. Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 2 cups).

For what it's worth, we LOVED the turkey gyros. Passed the test with DH (red meat lover) and DS (almost-13-y/o who would prefer fast food). The cucumber sauce is great.

I will try both recipes.
