Method
 

Preparation
  1. Toss chicken cubes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Thread chicken onto skewers evenly, leaving space between pieces to ensure even cooking.
Cooking
  1. Preheat grill to medium-high. Grill chicken skewers for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown.
  2. In a saucepan, melt butter and whisk in flour to create a roux. Gradually add milk and stir until smooth, then stir in cheddar cheese and paprika, cooking until melted and creamy.
  3. Cook fries according to package instructions or prepare homemade fries until crispy.
Assembly
  1. In a large bowl, combine lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and feta. Drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  2. Serve arranged on plates with fries, salad, and skewers; drizzle with cheese sauce and garnish with parsley.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can marinate the chicken the night before for better flavor.
