Ingredients
  

For the chicken

  • 5 Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 Lemon juiced
  • 4 Cloves garlic smashed
  • 3 Teaspoons Greek seasoning
  • ¼ Teaspoon cumin
  • ½ Teaspoon kosher salt
  • Pinch of pepper

For the Tzatziki

  • 1 Cup greek yogurt
  • ¼ Cup sour cream
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ Cup english cucumber chopped
  • 1 Clove garlic minced
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh dill minced
  • 2 Teaspoons fresh mint minced
  • Kosher salt to taste

For serving

  • Pita grilled or warmed in the oven
  • English cucumber thinly sliced
  • Cherry tomatoes halved
  • Leafy greens such as arugula
  • Lemon wedges

Instructions
 

  • In a zip top bag, add all of the ingredients for the chicken. Shake the bag so the chicken is coated and place it in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 3 hours.
  • Meanwhile, make the tzatziki. Mix all of the ingredients for the tzatziki in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for the flavors to come together while the chicken marinates.
  • Heat a cast iron pan over medium high heat. Add the chicken to the pan along with the marinade. Cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through; about 5 minutes on each side. Remove to a cutting board and let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes. Slice the chicken into strips and add it back to the pan over medium heat to crisp up around the edges; about 3 minutes. At this point, you can taste the chicken and add additional salt, cumin or Greek seasoning to your taste.
  • Serve the chicken with the tzatziki, vegetables and warm pita.
  • Enjoy!
