Why this Burrata & Greek Chicken Mezze Grazing Board works

Picture this: juicy marinated chicken grilled until golden, nestled beside burrata that oozes creamy perfection once cut. Then there are the sides — tangy olives, sweet roasted peppers, fresh cucumber slices, and warm pita wedges begging to be dipped into hummus or tzatziki. That balance of textures and flavors is what makes a Burrata & Greek Chicken Mezze Grazing Board so satisfying.

It’s the ultimate mix-and-match kind of meal. Guests get to graze, build their own bites, and no one feels tied to one plate.

And let’s not forget the taste. Every bite gives you something new: the creaminess of burrata, the zing of lemony chicken, the crunch of cucumbers, and the salty hit from feta and olives. Nothing heavy, just bright and full of life.

The bonus? This board feels indulgent but is packed with nutritious ingredients — lean protein, healthy fats, and plenty of vegetables. A Mediterranean dream that doesn’t feel like work.

Ingredients you’ll need

For the Greek Chicken

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
2 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp paprika
Juice of ½ lemon
Salt & black pepper, to taste

For the Mezze Board

2 burrata balls
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cucumber, sliced
½ cup kalamata olives
½ cup roasted red peppers
½ red onion, thinly sliced
½ cup hummus
½ cup tzatziki
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
Warm pita bread, cut into wedges
Fresh herbs (parsley, basil, or mint), for garnish

Every item here plays a role — from the juicy protein to the creamy burrata. Together, they form a Burrata & Greek Chicken Mezze Grazing Board that feels abundant and inviting.

Tools that make life easier

You don’t need fancy equipment to pull this off, just a few basics:

A large wooden serving board or platter
Grill pan or skillet for chicken
Small bowls for dips
A sharp knife for slicing veggies and herbs
Tongs for flipping chicken

Honestly, once you have the right board, the rest is easy. The key is presentation — that’s what makes a Burrata & Greek Chicken Mezze Grazing Board so fun.

Substitutions and easy additions

Here’s the thing: a grazing board thrives on flexibility. Don’t have burrata? Fresh mozzarella or even whipped ricotta can work. Not a chicken fan? Swap in grilled shrimp, lamb meatballs, or roasted chickpeas for a vegetarian twist.

Pita bread is traditional, but naan or lavash make great substitutes. For dips, hummus and tzatziki are classics, but baba ganoush, muhammara, or a simple olive tapenade can join the party.

The beauty of a Burrata & Greek Chicken Mezze Grazing Board lies in its adaptability. Use what’s fresh, what’s in season, and what your guests love most.

Step-by-step: how to make it

Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, oregano, paprika, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Toss in chicken strips and let them soak up the flavors for 20–30 minutes.
Cook the chicken: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high. Cook strips 5–6 minutes until golden and cooked through. Set aside.
Assemble the board: Place burrata in the center. Surround it with chicken, tomatoes, cucumber slices, olives, roasted peppers, onion, hummus, tzatziki, and feta.
Add bread: Arrange pita wedges around the edges.
Finish strong: Garnish with fresh herbs and drizzle burrata with a little olive oil.

And that’s it — your Burrata & Greek Chicken Mezze Grazing Board is ready. No fuss, just beautiful food.

Serving ideas

This board screams versatility. Serve it as a family-style dinner where everyone builds their own plate. Or let it shine at a party — nothing gets people gathered like a Burrata & Greek Chicken Mezze Grazing Board.

Pair it with sparkling water infused with lemon or cucumber for a refreshing, alcohol-free option. Add seasonal fruit like grapes, figs, or melon on the side for sweetness.

It’s also a great option for holidays. Instead of heavy roasts, you’ve got a lighter centerpiece that still feels special.

Tips for making it perfect

Keep chicken juicy: Don’t overcook it — medium-high heat and just a few minutes per side.
Handle burrata gently: Place it last, right before serving, so it stays cool and creamy.
Balance the board: Alternate colors and textures so the spread looks inviting.
Prep ahead: Slice veggies and mix marinade earlier in the day. Then all that’s left is cooking chicken and assembling.

Trust me, once you master the flow, a Burrata & Greek Chicken Mezze Grazing Board comes together effortlessly.

Storage instructions

If you’ve got leftovers (rare, but it happens), here’s what works:

Chicken: Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 3 days.
Burrata: Store separately in its liquid and use within 24 hours.
Pita: Wrap tightly to keep soft.
Veggies and dips: Keep in small sealed containers.

Just remember, a Burrata & Greek Chicken Mezze Grazing Board tastes best fresh — that’s when burrata really shines.
