I will be repeating this recipe over and over and over again, for sure! I made it last night and it was beyond delicious! Full of flavor! Next time I will try it with chicken thighs instead of breasts so that it doesn't dry out so much when grilling. I modified the cucumber dipping sauce as my mom has always made it. It is a perfect side to many dishes, such as this one, gyros, lamb, and stuffed grape leaves. Serve this chicken satay with Greek Panzanella as I did and you will have a fabulous meal!
