Method
- Cut the chicken breast into chunks of about 3 cm and mix with half the extra virgin olive oil, the lemon juice, dried oregano, salt and black pepper; leave to marinate for 15 minutes. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water.
- Meanwhile make the tzatziki: grate half the cucumber, squeeze it firmly in your hands and mix it with the Greek yoghurt, very finely chopped garlic, chopped dill and a pinch of salt.
- Cut the tomatoes into wedges, the remaining cucumber into half-moons and the red onion into thin rings; dress with the remaining oil and a pinch of salt.
- Thread the chicken onto the skewers. Heat a griddle over high heat until smoking hot and cook the skewers for 8–10 minutes, turning often, until golden outside and the juices run clear in the centre.
- Warm the pitta on the griddle for 30 seconds per side, until soft and hot, and serve with the skewers, tzatziki and salad.
