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 Grazing Board

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 cucumber, sliced
  • 1/4 cup olives (Kalamata or green)
  • 1/4 cup roasted red peppers
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
  • Optional: pita bread slices or crackers

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the bite-sized chicken pieces and toss them thoroughly to coat evenly. Cover and let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb the vibrant flavors.
  2. Prepare the Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers, ensuring the chicken is distributed evenly to cook thoroughly on the grill.
  3. Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice charred exterior.
  4. Make the Feta Dip: In a bowl, combine crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Blend or whisk the mixture until it forms a smooth, creamy dip perfect for pairing with the grilled chicken and fresh vegetables.
  5. Assemble the Grazing Board: On a large serving board, arrange the grilled chicken skewers, a bowl of feta dip, cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, olives, roasted red peppers, and sprinkle fresh parsley and mint over the top. Add pita bread slices or crackers on the side for serving.
  6. Serve: Serve immediately to enjoy the combination of warm, grilled chicken and refreshing accompaniments, making for a delicious and beautifully presented meal or appetizer board.

Notes

  • For juicier chicken, use thighs instead of breasts.
  • Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables such as sliced bell peppers or red onions to the grazing board.
  • This dish can be made gluten-free by choosing gluten-free crackers or skipping the pita bread.
  • The marinade can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 24 hours to deepen flavor.
  • Adjust seasoning and lemon juice in the feta dip according to your taste preferences.
