Let's Get Started
- In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.

- Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers.
- Grill the chicken skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and slightly charred.
- While the chicken is grilling, warm the pita bread on the grill for a few seconds on each side.
- To serve, spread tzatziki sauce on the warmed pita bread. Top with grilled chicken skewers, sliced tomatoes, red onion, and cucumber.
- Fold the pita bread in half and enjoy your delicious chicken souvlaki!
