Greek Yogurt Chicken Souvlaki Skewers for Kids

A Greek yogurt marinade of lemon, olive oil, garlic and oregano keeps these chicken skewers tender and mild, with soft-cooked zucchini and cherry tomatoes threaded alongside. Everything is cut small and cooked through gently, then served with warm mini pita and a cool cucumber-yogurt dip on the side for dipping.

The seasoning here stays firmly on the mild side — lemon and oregano rather than anything sharp or spicy — which is exactly what makes this a genuinely kid-friendly take on a Mediterranean classic. Built around lean chicken breast and Greek yogurt, it's a high-protein dinner that also fits comfortably into a Mediterranean way of eating, with olive oil as the primary fat and vegetables served alongside rather than hidden.

For younger kids, slide the pieces off the skewers before serving, or skip the skewers altogether and serve everything on a plate with pita for scooping.
