For the marinade:

Mix together the yogurt, cilantro, oregano, lemon juice, garlic, cayenne pepper, cumin, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
Add the chicken cubes and toss until the chicken is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.

For the Tzatziki Sauce:

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the flavors to blend.

For the chicken:

To cook the chicken, thread the cubed chicken onto double skewers and discard the marinade.
Preheat a cast-iron or nonstick skillet to medium heat. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil, add the chicken kabobs and cook 3 to 4 minutes per side, turning the kabobs until completely cooked, 8 to 10 minutes. To prevent crowding the skillet, cook the kabobs in batches.
Serve with Tzatziki Sauce.
