- At the same time, grill the cherry tomato skewers and onion slices until they are slightly charred and tender.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
- Assemble the grilled chicken platter by arranging the sliced chicken, grilled cherry tomatoes, grilled onions, sliced cucumber, crumbled feta cheese, and kalamata olives on a large platter.
- Serve with warm pita bread and tzatziki sauce on the side.
- Enjoy your delicious and healthy grilled chicken platter!
