Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken Skewers:

  • 1/4 cup olive oil

  • 1 shallot, chopped

  • 4 garlic cloves, chopped

  • 2 tsp dried oregano

  • 1 tsp chipotle chili powder

  • 1 tsp honey

  • 1–3 tbsp harissa or hot sauce

  • 1 tbsp lemon zest

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • 1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts, cubed

  • 1–2 cups tzatziki

  • 1/2 cup garlic tahini (optional)

For the Feta Fries:

  • 4 russet potatoes, cut into matchsticks

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

  • 1/2 cup chopped herbs (dill, basil, parsley)

  • 1 tsp lemon zest

  • 1 garlic clove, grated

  • 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken:
    In a large bowl, mix olive oil, shallot, garlic, oregano, chipotle powder, honey, harissa, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and toss to coat. Marinate 10 minutes.

  2. Bake the Chicken:
    Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Thread marinated chicken onto skewers. Bake on a lined sheet pan for 20–25 minutes, until cooked and lightly charred.

  3. Prepare the Fries:
    Toss cut potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, cayenne, and pepper. Bake on a sheet pan for 15–20 minutes, flip, and continue baking another 15 minutes until golden and crisp.

  4. Add Feta Topping:
    In a bowl, mix chopped herbs, lemon zest, grated garlic, sesame seeds, and crumbled feta. Toss with fries in the hot pan after baking. Season with salt.

  5. Serve:
    Plate chicken skewers with tzatziki and garlic tahini (if using). Serve feta fries on the side.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers in water to prevent burning.

Space fries evenly for maximum crispiness.

Garlic tahini can be made by whisking tahini with garlic, lemon juice, water, and salt.

This recipe works well with tofu, lamb, or shrimp too.

Food safety: if you cook the chicken yourself, make sure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), as recommended by the USDA and Health Canada.
