Ingredients
Scale

- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for dip)

Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined. Cut chicken into 1-inch cubes, coat in the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the Feta Dip: In a medium bowl, combine crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped dill. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Preheat the Grill: Get your grill going at medium-high heat.
- Skewer the Chicken: Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, about 5-6 pieces per skewer.
- Grill Time! Cook the skewers on the grill for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally until cooked through and charred.
- Warm the Pita: Lightly warm pita bread on the grill or in a skillet just before serving.
- Plate Your Grazing Board: Arrange the skewers, warm pita bread, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, roasted red peppers, and the feta dip artfully on a large wooden board or platter.
Notes
For added flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. This dish is versatile; feel free to add mixed veggies or use chicken thighs for juiciness.
