If not, what variation WOULD be okay? I'm going for a greek inspired menu that is Kosher "inspired" but will not actually be Kosher (as I am not Jewish). Thank you!

I have been told the food does not need to be Kosher, but I was asked to follow basic Kosher guidelines.
If you are Jewish, please tell me if you could eat chicken and yogurt together. Thank you!

if you serve it ON THE SIDE, so that people could CHOOSE whether or not they want to put the tzaiziki sauce on it, that should be fine.
however, as a non-kosher jew and a person of taste, i think that tzaiziki goes much better with lamb kebab... which is much more greek, also.
also, one stupid answer here was that you're just not supposed to mix dairy and beef. that is NOT TRUE. you're not supposed to mix dairy with any kind of meat according to the jewish religion.
another answer here was about traif, not kosher; you would NOT need new plates or anything of that sort, unless they're very religious. most people don't care about these things at all, and it is my understanding that your guests are fairly secular.

If it is not Kosher and they are observant Jews they will not eat.
No Diary with meat rules out this dish and if the Chicken is not Kosher then regardless whatever dish you make will not be Kosher.
So it really boils down to whether they keep kosher or not. If they do they will not be able to eat what you are making.

It depends on how orthodox your guests are. Since it is a sauce, tell them it contains yogurt, and serve some other sauce also, so they can choose and not seem impolite.
I never got this one anyway. The original law was not to seethe a kid in its mother's milk. They enlarged it to mean no milk or meat at the same meal. But do chickens give milk?
Actually you would be out of line anyway to a real Orthodox, as you don't have two refrigerators and two dishwashers.

Who told you that non-kosher food is ok? Your guests? Someone else?
I'm not really sure how to help you. The bottom line is that kosher is kosher and unkosher is unkosher. There's really no middle stage.
Yogurt with beef or poultry is not kosher.

No as I understand it meat and dairy are not supposed to touch or even supposed to be on the same plate. The chicken is fine but I would find an alternative for the tzatziki sauce.

No. It would be virtually impossble for you to cook kosher, since you'd need new dishes, you'd have to clean your oven with a blowtorch (or self-clean), and have a Jew supervising. Also, you have to buy kosher chicken, and each ingredient has to be kosher. And no mixing dairy and meat.

I'd say that's fine. You're not supposed to mix milk and beef - but chicken is no problem. Are you sure they're kosher, by the way? Because many Jews aren't. If they aren't, you might as well make a delicious pork loin...

Yoghurt is considered kosher, unless it's made of pig milk which is highly unlikely so I think you're quite safe. You could also check with the nearest Rabbi if yoghurt is good for Jewish people.

You cannot mix the meat(chicken)with the dairy(yogurt)at the same meal. Skip the yogurt sauce or go all vegetarian.
