Deconstructed Greek Platter

Alright everyone, I think I found my perfect meal. The last meal I would eat on earth if I had the choice. I'm serious here.
I saw this delicious idea on none other than good old Instagram and HAD to try it. I am obsessed with Greek food and could not believe how simple and amazing this dish is.
What's not to love about yummy seasoned grilled chicken, crisp cucumbers, fresh tomatoes, salty feta, flavorful tzatziki and crispy homemade pita chips. Man I'm getting hungry.
This dish honestly takes no time at all to whip up and you will not be disappointed! This meal screams summer and I can't wait to eat it for every meal. ;)
