Chicken Souvlaki
Chicken Souvlaki is a classic Greek dish consisting of marinated grilled meat that is served with vegetables, creamy Tzatziki sauce, and pita bread. It is a low carb, low in fat and very fresh. So, for a very good reason, it’s a popular street food in Greece! Souvlaki means “meat on a skewer”. Pork is the most common type of meat used but chicken, beef, and lamb are other options.

Creamy Hummus Pasta with Sun Dried Tomatoes
Creamy Hummus Pasta with Sun Dried Tomatoes is something we tried recently. We both like pasta and we both like hummus, so why not try them together, right? It’s savory, delicious, and light.

With the cold weather approaching, I thought it would be fun to make a Mediterranean based meal, and imagine I’m in warmer weather, perhaps sitting on a beach somewhere 🙂 I made Chicken Gyros with Tzatziki Sauce for the main course and served Mediterranean Layered Hummus on the side. Both are easy to make, flavorful, and healthy! Chicken Gyros with Tzatziki Sauce are filled with spiced chicken, fresh veggies, and a tangy homemade sauce, and are served on warm pita bread. The tangy homemade sauce is Tzatziki Sauce, which is a Greek yogurt-based sauce with cucumber and fresh herbs added. These gyros are incredibly tasty! Start by preheating the oven. While the oven preheats, prep the chicken. Place the chicken in a small baking dish and drizzle with olive oil. Use your hands to rub the olive oil over both sides of the chicken. Then sprinkle fresh minced garlic, paprika, … Continue reading
