I could happily eat Greek/Mediterranean food every night.  Clean, healthy, and bursting with flavor, it is my kind of eats.  It also happens to be the perfect summer food.  Just in time for grilling season, you are going to love these grilled chicken kabobs.   Bite-sized chicken pieces marinated in a herb spiced yogurt and then grilled to perfection and served with a cool tzatziki.  They make for a delicious quick and easy summer BBQ or weeknight dinner.  Serve with a greek salad, hummus and couscous.  Enjoy!
