Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken Souvlaki

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Wooden skewers (soaked in water)

For the Feta Dip

  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic

For the Olive Mix

  • 1/2 cup mixed olives (green & black), sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)

For the Board

  • Pita bread or flatbread, sliced
  • Cucumber sticks
  • Cherry tomatoes
  • Hummus (optional)
  • Fresh parsley or dill

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the cubed chicken breasts and toss to coat evenly. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
  2. Cook the Chicken Souvlaki: Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers. Grill over medium heat or cook in a pan for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is fully cooked through and has a slightly charred exterior.
  3. Prepare the Feta Dip: In a blender or food processor, add crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic clove. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy in texture. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  4. Make the Olive Mix: In a small bowl, combine the sliced mixed olives with olive oil, lemon zest, dried oregano, and chili flakes if using. Mix well to evenly coat the olives in the flavorful dressing.
  5. Assemble the Grazing Board: Place the cooked chicken skewers in the center of a large serving board. Add a bowl filled with the creamy feta dip and scatter the olive mix around. Arrange pita bread slices, cucumber sticks, cherry tomatoes, and optional hummus artistically around the board. Garnish with fresh parsley or dill for added color and freshness.
  6. Serve: Present the board immediately while the chicken is warm for a delicious and inviting Mediterranean grazing experience.

Notes

  • Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
  • Marinate chicken ahead of time to enhance flavor and tenderness.
  • You can substitute chicken breasts with chicken thighs for juicier results.
  • Adjust the chili flakes in the olive mix based on your preferred spice level.
  • Serve with extra lemon wedges for an additional bright zing.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute pita bread with gluten-free flatbread or vegetables.
