average rating is 3 out of 5, based on 150 votes

This low-carb, high-protein chicken souvlaki with cucumber-tomato salad and tzatziki sauce is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for diabetics and those following the SOZA weightloss program. The juicy, flavorful chicken is marinated in a tangy blend of herbs and lemon juice, while the fresh cucumber-tomato salad provides a crisp and refreshing contrast. The creamy tzatziki sauce is the perfect finishing touch, adding a cool and zesty flavor to the dish.

For an extra low-carb option, serve the chicken souvlaki over a bed of mixed greens instead of pita bread. This dish also pairs well with a side of roasted vegetables, such as zucchini or eggplant. Don't forget to soak your wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using them to prevent them from burning on the grill.
