Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken Souvlaki

  • 1 ½ lbs (700g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

For the Honey Feta Dip

  • ¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ⅓ cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1–2 tbsp warm water (to thin if needed)

For the Grazing Board

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup cucumber, diced
  • ½ cup kalamata olives
  • ¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup roasted red peppers
  • 4–6 pita breads or flatbreads, warmed
  • Optional: fresh parsley or dill for garnish

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat thoroughly. Allow the chicken to marinate for 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor infusion.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers if desired, or cook directly in the pan. Cook the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Let the cooked chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain juices.
  3. Prepare the Honey Feta Dip: In a bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, honey, olive oil, and lemon juice. Whisk or blend the mixture until it is smooth and creamy. Gradually add warm water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to thin the dip to a drizzle-friendly consistency.
  4. Assemble the Grazing Board: On a large serving board, neatly arrange the cooked chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, kalamata olives, thinly sliced red onion, roasted red peppers, and warmed pita breads. Place the honey feta dip in a small bowl in the center of the board. Garnish with fresh parsley or dill, if desired, to add a fresh herbal note.
  5. Serve: Serve the grazing board at room temperature or slightly warm. Invite guests to build their own bites by combining the chicken, fresh vegetables, and creamy honey feta dip on pita bread for a delightful shared meal experience.

Notes

  • You can use chicken breasts instead of thighs if you prefer leaner meat, but thighs offer more tenderness and flavor.
  • Marinating the chicken longer (up to 4 hours) enhances the flavor significantly.
  • To make this dish gluten-free, substitute pita bread with gluten-free flatbreads or serve with vegetable crudités.
  • Warm the pita breads just before serving for the best texture and flavor.
  • Feel free to add other Mediterranean ingredients like artichoke hearts or roasted zucchini to the grazing board for variety.
