Adapted from original source

Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken (breasts or thighs)
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 2 tsp red wine vinegar
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tsp dried oregano
• 4 (pocketless) pitas
• sliced tomatoes
• sliced onions
• sliced cucumbers
• lettuce

Instructions

1. Whisk together the garlic, lemon juice, vinegar, oil, oregano, and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl and add to Ziploc bag. Add in chicken pieces and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour, turning halfway through.
2. Preheat the grill (or pan, or broiler). Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides, and then grill over indirect heat until cooked through, about 8 minutes per side, depending what size/type chicken you are using.
3. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
4. Meanwhile, warm your pita bread. Top the pita with the chicken, tzatziki, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and lettuce.
