  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Pepperoncini Butter Sauce:

  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup pepperoncini brine

Extras:

Directions:

  1. Marinate the Chicken: Combine chicken, spices, and olive oil in a large bowl or plastic bag. Mix until well-coated; set aside in the fridge while you prep the other elements (30 minutes up to several hours).
  2. Make the Cucumber Salad: Toss veggies with a small amount of salt, pepper, olive oil, and vinegar. Use a light hand to avoid making it watery.
  3. Make the Pepperoncini Butter Sauce: Melt the butter and stir in the garlic, brine, and pepperoncini pieces. Set aside.
  4. Grill the Chicken: Cook the chicken on a grill, grill pan, or skillet until cooked through and golden brown on both sides. Let it rest for a moment, then cut into slices.
  5. Assemble: Layer hummus on a large platter. Add the cucumber salad in mounds around the outside. Place chicken in the middle and drizzle with the pepperoncini butter sauce. Finish with feta, chives, and salt & pepper. Serve with pita bread.
