Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken Souvlaki

  • 1 lb chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

For the Feta Dip

  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Tzatziki Drizzle

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup grated cucumber, squeezed dry
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Board Garnish

  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cucumber, sliced
  • 1/4 cup Kalamata olives
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create the marinade base.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the marinade and toss well to ensure even coating. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes, so the flavors penetrate the meat.
  3. Thread the Chicken: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers evenly to prepare for grilling.
  4. Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and has nice grill marks.
  5. Make the Feta Dip: In a bowl, blend together crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
  6. Prepare the Tzatziki Drizzle: In another bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber (squeezed dry), minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well mixed.
  7. Assemble the Grazing Board: On a large serving board, arrange the grilled chicken skewers alongside bowls of feta dip and tzatziki drizzle. Garnish the board with halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, Kalamata olives, and chopped fresh parsley for a colorful presentation.
  8. Serve: Serve the grazing board immediately with pita bread or crackers if desired for a complete and satisfying meal.

Notes

  • Soaking wooden skewers prevents them from burning on the grill.
  • Marinate chicken for longer than 30 minutes if time allows for more flavor.
  • The feta dip can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Squeezing excess moisture from grated cucumber is key to preventing a watery tzatziki.
  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of chili flakes to the marinade or dips.
  • Serve with warm pita bread or crunchy crackers to complement the grazing board.
