Greek Chicken Kebabs with Feta and Mint Sauce
4 servings
30 minutes
Greek chicken kebabs with feta and mint sauce are a harmonious blend of Mediterranean flavors and aromas. The dish's roots trace back to Greek culinary traditions, where the freshness of ingredients and simplicity of preparation are highly valued. Tender pieces of chicken marinated in olive oil, oregano, and wine vinegar gain juiciness and rich flavor. Grilled alongside zucchini and onions, they absorb a smoky aroma. The kebabs are given a special zest by the feta, mint, and yogurt sauce — it refreshes the dish with a light creamy texture and pleasant tanginess. Chicken kebabs are perfect for warm summer evenings when you crave something light yet filling. They can be served with salad, lavash or simply enjoyed with a glass of white wine.
