How To Make Mediterranean Inspired Summer Platter

  1. Preheat a griddle pan or skillet over medium-high heat. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice and spices to make a marinate. Add the boneless chicken thighs into the marinate, coat it evenly. Thread the chicken thighs onto skewer sticks, then cook the chicken for 6 – 7 minutes per side, until cooked through.
  2. Allow the chicken to rest for about 5 minutes before serving, place the chicken skewers into a large platter. Spoon hummus, tzatziki into small serving bowls, then place onto the platter. Lastly add cucumber ribbons, olives, feta, grilled veggies. Garnish with fresh herbs and lemon wedges.
