Ingredients

Serves 6–8. Prep time: 25 minutes. Cook time: 20 minutes.

• For the chicken souvlaki:
• 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tsp dried oregano
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Wooden or metal skewers
• For the feta dip:
• 8 oz block feta cheese, crumbled
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp lemon zest
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Pinch of cayenne (optional)
• Board accoutrements:
• Pita wedges or flatbreads
• Roasted red peppers and zucchini
• Cherry tomatoes
• Cucumber slices
• Mixed olives
• Grapes and sliced apples for a sweet contrast (pair well with a light chicken salad like chicken salad with grapes)
• Fresh herbs: parsley, dill
• Drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and lemon wedges

Step-by-step instructions

1. Marinate the chicken: In a bowl combine olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add chicken, toss, and refrigerate 15–30 minutes.
2. Make the feta dip: In a food processor combine feta, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, lemon zest, olive oil, and cayenne. Pulse until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning.
3. Skewer and cook: Thread chicken onto skewers. Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Grill 3–4 minutes per side until charred at edges and cooked through (internal temp 165°F/75°C). For an oven option, broil 6–8 minutes per side.
4. Roast veg: Toss peppers and zucchini in olive oil, salt, and pepper; roast at 425°F (220°C) for 15–20 minutes until tender.
5. Assemble the board: Place the feta dip in the center, arrange skewers, roasted veg, fresh vegetables, bread, olives, and fruit around it. Garnish with herbs and a drizzle of olive oil.

Tips for success

• Use thighs for juicier souvlaki; they’re forgiving and stay tender on the grill.
• Soak wooden skewers 20 minutes before using to prevent burning.
• Let the chicken rest 5 minutes off the heat to lock in juices.
• For a smoother dip, let feta sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before processing.
• If you like a little heat, add a pinch of cayenne or a drizzle of hot honey (try inspiration from crispy hot honey feta chicken ideas).
• Balance flavors: include something sweet (grapes or roasted squash), something tangy (olives or pickled peppers), and something crunchy (toasted pita or sesame crackers).

Possible variations

• Gluten-free: Swap pita for gluten-free flatbread or toasted corn tortillas; everything else stays the same.
• Vegetarian option: Replace chicken with grilled halloumi or marinated tofu skewers.
• Streusel-style topping for a fall twist: Mix chopped nuts, oats, a pinch of cinnamon, and a drizzle of olive oil; toast lightly and sprinkle over roasted apples on the board for a streusel-like crunch.
• Brunch-friendly: Add baked eggs and roasted tomatoes for a hearty morning spread inspired by baked feta eggs with tomatoes and spinach.

Storage recommendations

• Chicken: Store cooled chicken skewers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 8–10 minutes.
• Feta dip: Keeps in the fridge for up to 5 days. Stir before serving; add a splash of olive oil if it’s too thick.
• Veg and bread: Store separately to keep textures optimal. Roasted vegetables last 3–4 days refrigerated.

FAQs

1. Can I make the feta dip ahead of time? Yes — the feta dip can be made up to 3 days ahead and stored in an airtight container in the fridge. Bring to room temperature and stir before serving.
2. What’s the best chicken cut for souvlaki? Boneless, skinless chicken thighs are ideal because they stay moist and char beautifully. You can use breast if you prefer, but watch cooking time to avoid drying out.
3. How do I keep pita from getting soggy on the board? Toast or warm pita briefly and serve it in a separate basket or wrapped in a towel. Place any saucy items away from bread on the board to preserve texture.
4. Can I freeze the cooked chicken skewers? Yes — cool completely, wrap tightly, and freeze up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in a 350°F oven until warmed through.
