Preparation
In a large bowl, toss the chicken cubes (12 oz) with dried oregano (1 tsp), garlic powder (½ tsp), smoked paprika (½ tsp), sea salt (¼ tsp), and black pepper (¼ tsp). Let marinate for 15–30 minutes if time allows.
Thread the marinated chicken (12 oz), eggplant pieces (1 small), red bell pepper (½), green bell pepper (½), and red onion (½) onto skewers, alternating ingredients for even cooking.
Grill the kebabs for about 3–4 minutes per side, turning to cook evenly, until the chicken (12 oz) is cooked through and vegetables (eggplant, bell peppers, onion) are charred and tender.
While kebabs are grilling, make the tzatziki sauce. In a small bowl, mix together Greek yogurt (¼ cup), diced cucumber (2 Tbsp), fresh dill (1 Tbsp), red onion (1 Tbsp), lemon juice (1 tsp), garlic powder (¼ tsp), and sea salt (to taste). Stir until smooth.
Serve the kebabs hot, with a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce, fresh dill (for serving), and lemon wedges (for serving) on the side.
This review reframes dementia as a systemic failure, where amyloid plaques and tau tangles are not root causes but late-stage byproducts of the underlying metabolic collapse.
