- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
- 1 English cucumber, peeled, seeded and sliced
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
- 1/2 red onion, finely sliced
- 4 ounces feta cheese, cut into cubes
- 1 cup kalamata olives, for serving
- 4 pita breads, for serving
- Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, recipe follows
- Three 14.5-ounce cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained

- 3 cloves garlic, chopped, or more to taste
- 2 jarred roasted red peppers

Instructions
- Soak the skewers in water and heat a grill pan over medium to medium-high heat while you make the dressing.
- In a jar, add the olive oil, vinegar, sugar, oregano, red pepper flakes and some salt and pepper. Shake to combine. Pour half the dressing over the chicken strips in a bowl and stir to combine.
- In another bowl, add the cucumber, tomatoes and red onion. Pour the remaining dressing over and stir gently.
- Thread the chicken strips onto the skewers. Grill until cooked through and charred, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove and let cool.
- Top the salad with the feta cheese. Serve with the chicken skewers, olives, pita bread and Roasted Red Pepper Hummus.
- Add the chickpeas to a food processor with the tahini, cumin, garlic, red peppers, lemon juice and some salt. Pulse until the mixture is smooth and combined but do not overmix. Add 3 to 5 tablespoons water as necessary to facilitate blending. At the end, add the olive oil and pulse no more than 3 times to incorporate.

Reviews
Make this chicken and salad every few weeks—entire family loves it! Very easy and flavorful. Love that it’s one recipe that doubles as both marinade and dressing. I buy hummus and tzatziki sauce at the store to serve with it. Make extra chicken and chop up and add to leftover tomato/onion/cucumber salad for a great lunch.
This was very good! I’m glad I decided to try it. Not only was it fast it was easy and a perfect meal on a hot day! I will make this often. Oh, and the hummus is the best I’ve had yet!
Looks amazing and yummy. Can’t wait to make it. However planning to sub sugar with honey, hope it works:)
Delicious !
