Chicken Souvlaki

It doesn't get much easier than this.

This was another one of our Mediterranean inspired meals. We served tzatziki with this, along with freshly made pitas, kalamata olives, and tomato wedges. Do I need to tell you we all loved this--all five of us? My pita turned out about perfectly this meal as well--nicely puffed--so we could stuff the chicken, tzatziki and the rest of the fixings inside the pita. Wonderful.

This serves 4.
