Chicken marinade

Grilled vegetables

Platter garnishes

Method

Marinate and prep

  1. 1

    Make the marinade

    In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil (3 tbsp), lemon juice (2 tbsp), garlic powder (1 tsp), paprika (1 tsp), dried oregano (1 tsp), salt (1 tsp), and black pepper (0.5 tsp) to create a smooth marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the chicken

    Add the chicken thighs (2 pounds) to the marinade. Toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours to allow the flavors to penetrate.

Grill the chicken

  1. 3

    Preheat and grill

    Preheat grill to medium-high. Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill 5–6 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  2. 4

    Rest and slice

    Transfer grilled chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into 1/2-inch strips.

Grill vegetables

  1. 5

    Season vegetables

    Toss zucchini (2 pieces), yellow squash (2 pieces), red bell pepper (1 piece), and red onion (1 piece) with olive oil (1 tbsp), salt (0.5 tsp), and black pepper (0.25 tsp) until evenly coated.

  2. 6

    Grill vegetables

    Grill vegetables on direct heat until tender and lightly charred, about 6–8 minutes total, turning halfway through.

Prepare tzatziki

  1. 7

    Make tzatziki

    In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt (1 cup), grated cucumber (0.5 cup, squeezed dry), minced garlic (1 clove), lemon juice (1 tbsp), dill (1 tsp), and salt (0.25 tsp). Mix well and refrigerate until serving.

Assemble platter

  1. 8

    Arrange and garnish

    Arrange sliced grilled chicken on a large platter with the grilled vegetables. Place a bowl of tzatziki on the side, add lemon wedges (2 pieces), chopped parsley (2 tbsp), and pita bread (4 pieces) for dipping and rounds.
