Grilled Chicken Skewers with Special Sauce
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 1/2 teaspoons Louisiana Hot Sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon Lea & Perrins (Worcestershire sauce)
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- Pinch of cayenne
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon thinly sliced green onions
- Salt to taste
- 1 pound boneless, skinless, thin-sliced chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Creole seasoning
- 1 teaspoon parsley flakes
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 12 6-inch wooden skewers, soaked in water for 10 minutes
Instructions
In a small bowl, make the special sauce by whisking together the Greek yogurt and next 10 ingredients (through the green onions); season to taste with salt. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch strips and place in a shallow dish. Toss with olive oil, Creole seasoning, parsley flakes and garlic powder. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. Preheat a cast iron grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Place skewered chicken on pan and grill until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side (time may vary depending on thickness of chicken and type of grill pan). Serve immediately with special sauce. Makes 4-6 appetizer servings.
