Here's an ode to one of my favorite diner dishes, chicken slouvaki. Make this light and refreshing dish on a particularly cold day, and you'll be instantly transported to the Mediterranean. Marinating the chicken in yogurt, not only makes the chicken tangy and juicy, but it also adds a nice crust when broiled. You can also add zucchini and red pepper to the skewers and serve over orzo for a heartier meal.

Cut chicken into chunks and toss in a bowl with yogurt, EVOO, lemon juice, oregano, garlic and season with salt and pepper. Let marinate for 30 minutes.

For the sauce mix the yogurt, garlic, cucumbers in a small bowl. Stir in lemon juice and season with salt. Set aside in the fridge while you prepare the chicken.

Thread chicken pieces on skewers (if using wood, make sure you have soaked them) and place on broiler pan. Broil on high heat for about 7 minutes, turning periodically.

Arrange sliced onions and tomato wedges on pitas. Top with chicken, tzatziki sauce, and chives.
