   • In a mixing bowl, combine the plain yogurt, grated cucumber, olive oil, minced garlic cloves, and white vinegar.
   • Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
   • Refrigerate the yogurt sauce overnight to allow the flavors to meld together.

2. Marinate the Chicken and Veggies:

   • Cut the chicken breast cutlets into 2-inch pieces and place them in a large bowl.
   • Marinate the chicken pieces in one portion of the prepared Good Seasons dressing for at least 1 hour, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
   • Similarly, marinate the sliced zucchinis, onions, and green peppers in the same dressing for added flavor.

3. Preheat the Grill:

   • Preheat your grill until it reaches the desired temperature, ensuring it’s hot enough for grilling.

4. Prepare the Skewers:

   • Thread the marinated chicken pieces, zucchini slices, onion chunks, and green pepper chunks onto skewers alternately, creating colorful and flavorful kabobs.
   • Optionally, thread the potato chunks onto separate skewers if you prefer to cook them separately from the chicken and veggies.

5. Grill the Potatoes:

   • Brush the potato skewers with the remaining Good Seasons dressing, ensuring they are evenly coated.
   • Place the potato skewers on the grill and cook, turning occasionally and basting with more dressing, until they are golden brown and tender.

6. Grill the Chicken and Veggies:

   • Grill the chicken skewers over medium heat, basting them occasionally with the reserved dressing, until they are fully cooked and have a delicious charred exterior.
   • Similarly, grill the vegetable skewers until the veggies are tender and slightly caramelized around the edges, infusing them with smoky flavor.

7. Grill the Pitas:

   • Brush both sides of the pita bread with olive oil, then place them on the grill.
   • Grill the pitas for approximately 3 minutes on each side, or until they are lightly toasted and have grill marks.

8. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Arrange the grilled chicken, veggies, and potatoes on a platter, inviting guests to create their own kabobs or enjoy them separately.
   • Serve the Greek yogurt sauce alongside the grilled delights, allowing everyone to drizzle it over their kabobs or use it as a dipping sauce.
   • Accompany the meal with the grilled pitas for a satisfying and authentic Mediterranean experience.

Tips and Variations:

• For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and double the amount of vegetables.
• Experiment with different vegetables such as cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, or bell peppers to customize your kabobs.
• If you’re short on time, you can marinate the chicken and veggies for a shorter duration, although longer marination will enhance the flavor.
• Serve the kabobs with a side of rice or couscous for a more substantial meal.
• Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or dill to garnish the dish and add a burst of freshness.
• Don’t forget to soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before threading to prevent them from burning on the grill.
• Feel free to adjust the seasoning and spices in the Greek yogurt sauce to suit your taste preferences, adding a dash of lemon juice or a pinch of dried oregano for extra Mediterranean flair.
