    Greek Chicken Shish Kebabs

    If you've been following along, you know I'm in love with my grill this summer. But did you know my favourite summer dish is Greek Chicken Shish Kebabs?

We brainstormed back and forth until we settled on a cream cheese base with tomato bruschetta on top. It didn't quite translate as well as we imagined. But with a bit more chit chat Creamy Feta Party Dip with Bruschetta Topping was born.
