Perfection...LOVED the lemon. I added 1 tsp of Penzeys greek seasoning since I had no sage or savory. Thanks!

    YUMMY ! We loved this recipe - even the kids ! I didn't make any changes except we broiled them because of nasty weather. I cheated and bought tzatziki sauce. I took the leftovers to work today and everyone was jealous ! Thanks !

    Very, very easy, and very, very good! The lemon flavor was very prominent, and the marinade REALLY tenderized the chicken - I noticed as I was putting it on the skewers that it almost fell apart - and that was before cooking; so you can imagine how tender it was when done! Or maybe it's because we grilled it by the "light" of the lunar eclipse ... No, I'm sure it was the lovely marinade! I didn't taste much garlic though it seemed as if I put a lot in. I will definitely marinate longer next time, maybe add a little more garlic. Everyone's taste is different. Overall, this couldn't be any easier, and it's a refreshing change. This will be a fun and different outdoor summer party dish! Oops! EdsGirl here again - I forgot to add that I used the marinade on some Yukon Gold potatoes - I boiled them till just tender, then poured the marinade on them while warm (I made extra marinade just for this purpose). They were outstanding!

    Reposting my review - I forgot the stars the first time! Easy and tasty! I used whole chicken breasts instead of cutting the chicken into cubes and putting it on skewers. I added extra garlic to the marinade, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. The lemon flavor was noticeable but not overpowering, and the chicken grilled up nicely. It even got the toddler seal of approval, as my two-year-old son ate it right up. Great recipe - thanks, CountryLady!
