Recipe Introduction

Entertaining is effortless with this easy-to-make hors d'oeuvre. Terrific substitutions include thin slices of beef or lamb, which grill on skewers as easily and quickly as chicken does. Yields: About 20 skewers
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
3 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh-ground pepper
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1 cup yogurt
2 teaspoons fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon orange zest
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1. Marinate the chicken: Combine olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken and marinate for 20 minutes.

2. Make Citrus Sauce: Stir together the remaining ingredients in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate.

3. Cook the chicken: Heat grill to medium high. Run skewers through chicken pieces and grill for about 4 minutes, turn over, and grill until cooked through — about 4 more minutes. Serve with citrus sauce.
