Instructions
Creating your Greek Chicken Souvlaki Grazing Board with Feta Dip can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken cubes and stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for enhanced flavor.
2. Prepare the Feta Dip: In a medium bowl, mix crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste. Set aside.
3. Soak Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
4. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
5. Skewer the Chicken: Thread marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
6. Grill the Chicken: Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
7. Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken is grilling, prepare the fresh vegetables by slicing the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and bell peppers. Arrange them on the grazing board.
8. Assemble the Board: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill. Allow it to rest for a few minutes. Then, arrange the chicken skewers on the grazing board alongside the fresh vegetables, pita bread, and feta dip.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the board for an added touch of color and freshness.
10. Serve: Present the grazing board to your guests and enjoy the delightful flavors of Greece.
