Method
Combine olive oil, greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, red pepper flakes, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl to create the chicken marinade.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, coat well, and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the salad: dice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion, and toss with dill, olive oil, and crumbled feta.
Mix the tzatziki sauce by stirring together greek yogurt, minced garlic, dill juice, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Grill or pan‑cook the marinated chicken until fully cooked and lightly charred, about 5‑7 minutes per side.
Warm the pita breads briefly on the grill or in a skillet.
Assemble each pita by spreading a generous spoonful of tzatziki, adding sliced chicken, and topping with the fresh salad mixture.
Serve immediately and enjoy the bright Mediterranean flavors.
