For the Lemon Feta Dip
- 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice

For the Grazing Board

Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken – In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and toss to coat. Cover and marinate for 30 minutes up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
- Cook the Chicken – Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread chicken onto skewers or cook directly in the pan. Cook 4–5 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Prepare the Lemon Feta Dip – In a bowl, combine feta, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Whisk or blend until smooth and creamy. Gradually add warm water to reach desired consistency.
- Assemble the Grazing Board – Arrange cooked chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, olives, red onion, roasted red peppers, and pita bread on a large serving board. Place the lemon feta dip in a small bowl at the center. Garnish with fresh parsley or dill if desired.
- Serve – Serve at room temperature or slightly warm. Guests can build their own bites with chicken, vegetables, and dip on pita.
