Chicken Souvlaki with Tzatziki Sauce

Cultural Context

Originating from Greece, Chicken Souvlaki is a popular street food that showcases the vibrant flavors of Mediterranean cuisine. Traditionally skewered and grilled, it reflects the Greek love for fresh ingredients and communal dining. Tzatziki, a refreshing yogurt-based sauce, complements the savory chicken and is a staple in Greek meals. Today, souvlaki has gained international popularity, often served in pita wraps or as part of a mezze platter.
