Instructions

Creating the Greek Chicken Mezze Platter with Yogurt Drizzle is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken Marinade: In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Toss until well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.
3. Soak Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
4. Preheat Grill: Heat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
5. Skewer the Chicken: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers.
6. Grill the Chicken: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks.
7. Make the Yogurt Drizzle: In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt. Stir until smooth.
8. Prepare the Mezze Platter: On a large serving platter, arrange the grilled chicken skewers alongside cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, bell pepper slices, olives, and pita bread or chips.
9. Garnish: Drizzle the yogurt sauce over the chicken skewers and sprinkle with fresh dill or parsley for added flavor and color.

This straightforward approach ensures that you’ll create a stunning Greek Chicken Mezze Platter that is bursting with flavor and ready to impress.
