Steps:
- In a small bowl whisk together the ingredients for the marinade.
- Trim the chicken and place it in a zip-top bag. Carefully pour all of the marinade over the chicken. Close the bag tightly and use your hands to massage the chicken to spread the marinade all over the chicken pieces. Refrigerate for at least two hours and up to four hours.
- When ready to cook the chicken, remove from the refrigerator and let it stand at room temperature for half an hour.
- Heat your grill to medium high. Place chicken pieces on the grill and cook the first side for about 4 to 5 minutes, then turn over and cook on the other side for about 3 to 4 minutes (depending on the thickness). With an instant read thermometer, check the temperature - it should register 165° F. Remove the chicken from the grill and cover loosely with foil. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Squeeze a little lemon juice over the chicken and serve wrapped in warm pita bread, with a good amount of ttzatziki, tomatoes, and sliced red onions.

- Start by preparing the chicken breasts. For larger chicken breasts, you will want to cut the chicken in half to create two thinner pieces of chicken. Then pound the chicken in any thick portions to create breasts that are fairly uniform in thickness.
- Whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken and the marinade to a ziploc bag or container. Marinate for at least 2 hours or up to 6 hours in the fridge. Rotate the chicken a few times during the marinating process to ensure it is evenly marinated.
- Make the tzatziki: Grate the cucumber and use a paper towel or cheesecloth to squeeze out all the extra moisture. Stir it into the yogurt along with the lemon juice, lemon zest, dill, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate for 1 hour or more.
- When ready to cook, preheat the grill. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Cook for 4-6 minutes per side until cooked to 160-165 degrees. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
