Ingredients

1½ lb Chicken Thighs, cubed
Marinade: ⅓ cup olive oil + juice of 1½ lemons + 4 cloves garlic + 2 tsp oregano + 1 tsp salt
Quick tzatziki: 1 cup yogurt + ½ grated cucumber (squeezed) + garlic + dill
Pitas, warmed
Tomato wedges + red onion + olives
Skewers

Method

Marinate the Chicken Thighs 30 minutes minimum — lemon and oregano need time to sign the paperwork.
Stir the tzatziki and chill; squeeze that cucumber like it lied to you, or the sauce weeps.
Thread and grill (or broil) on high, turning, 10–12 minutes until char-edged and cooked through (165°F for chicken).
Rest 3 minutes while the pitas warm over the same flames.
Build the plate: skewers over pita, tzatziki generously, tomato-onion-olives around. Squeeze more lemon than seems needed — Greek portions of lemon are a rounding error away from a beverage.
