Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken Souvlaki

  • 2 large chicken breasts, cut into cubes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the Feta Dip

  • 4 oz feta cheese
  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 2–3 tablespoons water (to thin if needed)
  • Pinch of salt

For the Olive Mix

  • 1 cup mixed olives (green, black, Kalamata)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 clove garlic, lightly crushed
  • Pinch of chili flakes (optional)

For the Grazing Platter

  • 2–3 pita breads or flatbreads, warmed and cut
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cucumber, sliced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup roasted red peppers
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta
  • Fresh parsley or mint
  • Lemon wedges

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, mix well, and let it marinate for 20–30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  2. Grill the Chicken: Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers or place in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Prepare the Feta Dip: In a blender or bowl, combine feta cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Blend or whisk together until smooth and creamy. Add 2–3 tablespoons of water as needed to thin the dip to desired consistency.
  4. Make the Olive Mix: In a bowl, combine mixed olives with olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, crushed garlic clove, and optional chili flakes. Stir well and let it marinate for 15–20 minutes to enhance the flavors.
  5. Warm the Pita Breads: Heat pita or flatbreads until they are soft and lightly toasted, then cut them into wedges for serving.
  6. Assemble the Platter: Arrange the grilled chicken souvlaki on a large serving platter. Place small bowls with the feta dip and olive mix on the platter. Surround with warmed pita wedges, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, roasted red peppers, crumbled feta, fresh parsley or mint, and lemon wedges.
  7. Serve: Garnish the platter with fresh herbs and lemon wedges and serve immediately as a vibrant Mediterranean sharing platter perfect for gatherings.

Notes

  • Marinate the chicken for at least 20 minutes, but up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.
  • Use a grill pan or outdoor grill depending on availability for an authentic smoky flavor.
  • Adjust water in the feta dip to get your preferred thickness.
  • The olive mix can be made a day ahead to deepen flavor.
  • Serve with additional lemon wedges for added brightness.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute pita with gluten-free flatbreads.
