Mike's Chicken Shish Kebabs & Tzatziki Sauce Mike's Chicken Shish Kebabs & Tzatziki Sauce
While this recipe may take some time on your part, you will not regret your efforts by any means. I mean that! Neither will your family or guests! Just know that this recipe is so easy to follow, my 7 and 8 year old culinary students made this dish tonight with little supervision and, minimal follow up questions.This dish is so flavorful and downright juicy folks! Between the moisture in your brined chicken, especially your oversized mushrooms and your Tzatziki Sauce, you won't even need a beer to follow it up with! Hence the need to serve them with a thick, seasoned, absorbent, oversized piece of Naan Bread!Know that this dish also makes a great vegetarian option as well. As for the Tzatziki Sauce, it's a bit untraditional with the addition of the fresh minced chives and it being heavy on the sour cream as opposed to the Greek Yogurt. But, it certainly works! Especially for those who aren't exactly fond of the bitter / sour taste known to accompany Greek Yogurt. Tho the slight amount of sour Greek Yogurt added does pair nicely with the sweetness of the Vidalia Onions.Total manual prep time will take you approximately 60 minutes if making this dish for the first time alone. Total wait time will be much longer with the brine and marinating time.Of all the dishes I make, and I make many, this is my wife's, and all her friends favorite. In fact, everyone on their birthday gets a special, "dish wish." This one is easily the most requested next to my Green Chilie Stew.Use the freshest, crispiest garden vegetables, herbs, chicken and Naan breads for best results! Tip? Go heavy on the mushrooms!All pictures and directions taken by 7 and 8 year olds! Great work kiddos! I'm SO proud! 😆 -
