1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper.
2. Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Toss and coat well, then let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight.
3. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.

5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
6. Grill the chicken skewers for 12-15 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
7. While the chicken is grilling, prepare the tzatziki sauce by combining Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and fresh dill in a mixing bowl.
8. Serve the grilled chicken souvlaki hot with the tzatziki sauce on the side. Enjoy!
