Instructions
Preparation
- Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, and salt and black pepper in a medium bowl to make the marinade.

- Thread marinated chicken onto soaked skewers, leaving a small gap between pieces.
Cooking
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill skewers for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and lightly charred.
- In a blender, combine feta, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped dill. Blend until smooth.

Notes
Marinade timing of up to 4 hours yields deeper flavor; overnight marination may firm up chicken breast.
