- Grill the chicken skewers for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and slightly charred.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese for the Greek salad.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
