INSTRUCTIONS

1. If using skewers, soak them in water for a minimum of 30 min then Preheat the oven to 375.

2. To make the marinade for the chicken, combine the fresh dill, fresh mint, oregano, garlic cloves, olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, smoked paprika, korean chili flakes inside of a small blender (if you’re not sure about how much of the ingredients to use for the marinade, check out the video on instagram!) and blend until it all comes together. Add the marinade to the bowl and add the chicken to it. let it marinade for 15-20 min.

3. Place the sliced sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, and season with smoked paprika, S+P, olive oil and honey (or maple syrup), spread in an even layer and bake for 30 min turning halfway until fully cooked.

4. Skewer the vegetables by alternating between the onion and the different colored bell pepper. Brush skewers with a light layer of olive oil and season with S+P.

5. Set your grill, grill pan, or skillet to medium-high heat. Take skewers and thread the chicken pieces on. Grill the skewers until lightly charred and cooked through, turning them occasionally throughout cooking, about 10 to 12 minutes total. During the same time, grill the vegetables until charred, about 5 minutes per side. Remove everything from the grill. Alternately, you can roast the chicken and the vegetables at 400 degrees for 20-30 minutes.

6. To serve, spread the Tzatziki onto warmed naan (or rice) remove the chicken and vegetables from the skewer and place on top. Add the sweet potatoes, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, feta and arugula— drizzle with olive oil and enjoy!
