Ingredients

The Chicken

  • 6 chicken thighs boneless
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • salt
  • 1 pinch sugar
  • 1/2 lemon juiced
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 flatbreads or pitas

Tzatziki Sauce

  • 1 C greek yogurt
  • 2 Persian cucumbers or 1/2 large cucumber
  • 1/2 lemon juiced
  • 1 clove garlic grated
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • salt
  • pepper

Cucumber and Tomato Salad

  • 4 Persian cucumbers or 1 large cucumber, large dice
  • 1 large tomato or 1 pint cherry tomatoes, large diced
  • 1/2 onion sliced
  • pinch dried oregano
  • 3 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • salt
  • pepper

Instructions

  • Prep your chicken by cutting chicken thighs in half to make long strips and fold them onto skewer. Season generously with salt, lemon juice, oregano and sugar. Grill until chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
  • To make tzatziki, grate your cucumber and then squeeze out any excess water. I like to wring it out in a paper towel, but a cloth kitchen towel works great or even just your hands. Mix your drained cucumber, grated garlic, yogurt, lemon juice salt, pepper and olive oil. You can also add in some fresh dill, I forgot so I just added it at the end. Your choice.
  • To make your quick cucumber and tomato salad, dice and slice your veg, toss with olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt and pepper. Let it sit at least 10 minutes before serving.
