2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 tsp VE Greek Seasoning
1 Tbsp VE Souvlaki Seasoning
4-6 skinless, boneless chicken breast cut into strips or cubes
baboo skewers, pre-soaked to prevent scorching

1. wisk the first 5 ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.
2. add chicken and toss to coat. Can be marinated in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 12 hrs.
3. Thread chicken on skewer (with red/yellow/orange/green peppers) Grill over medium heat - we BBQ'ed them.

Tzaziki Sauce (on the side of the Tzaziki seasoning mix jar)

1 C plain (thick) yogurt
1 1/2 Tbsp VE Tzaziki Seasoning
1/2 c grated cucumbers - drained
VE sea salt to taste

mix all together in bowl and let stand 1/2 hour before serving.

Hummus (from the side of the dip mix jar)

1 can (19 oz) chickpeas
2 - 3 Tbsp VE Hummus dip mix
3 Tbsp each hot water, lemon juice and olive oil
1/4 c tahini optional - I usually add this but was out tonight - I missed it.

Mix it all up in a food processor and let stand for 1/2 hour before serving with pita.


I also served rice and steamed mixed veg (green and yellow beans and carrots with some peas thrown in for good measure)

All easy and super tasty!!!
