I just love the contrast of the warm spices and the cool tzatziki sauce! Oh and a 🔝 tip … set aside some of the spice mix and sprinkle it over the vegetables! There’s no reason the meat always has to get the flavor, show some LOVE to the veggies too!!

Ingredients
- 1lb. chicken breasts cut into 1” cubes
- 4 wooden skewers, pre-soaked in water
- 2 tsp turmeric powder
- 2 tsp cumin
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger

Directions
Pre-heat grill on medium-high heat.
In a large bowl combine turmeric, cumin, smoked paprika, cinnamon, ginger, garlic, and cayenne. Add chicken and toss until well coated in spice mixture. Add chicken evenly to the 4 skewers. Grill for 10-12 minutes or until fully cooked, turning halfway through. Add 1 skewer to a plate and make rows of tomatoes, romaine, red onions, and cucumbers. Add a large dollop of tzatziki sauce and top everything with crumbled feta. Enjoy!!
Flex Swap: Instead of chicken, add spices to garbanzo beans & heat in a skillet with a little olive oil.
