Grilled Greek Chicken Kebabs with Mint-Feta Sauce
Chicken thighs stay moist when cut into pieces and grilled. You could substitute other vegetables, such as summer squash or bell peppers, for the zucchini. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for fifteen minutes to keep them from scorching on the grill.

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
In a resealable plastic bag, combine chicken, zucchini, onion, olive oil, oregano, and 2 tablespoons vinegar; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Marinate at room temperature 30 minutes (or refrigerate up to overnight; place bag on a plate, in case of leaks).
Step 2
Heat grill to medium (see page 367 for instructions); lightly oil grates. (Alternatively, heat a grill pan over medium-high.) Onto each skewer, thread 3 pieces of chicken with zucchini and onion. Grill skewers, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender, 12 to 14 minutes.
Step 3
To make sauce, blend feta, yogurt, mint, and remaining tablespoon vinegar in a food processor until smooth. Serve kebabs with dipping sauce and garnish with mint leaves if desired.
