Method

Marinate at least 1 hour. The curd and lemon tenderise the breast.

01
Get set
Take the chicken out of the fridge 15 minutes before cooking. Pat it dry with paper towels. Wash your hands, board and knife after handling raw chicken. Cut the breast into 3 cm cubes. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes.
02
Marinate
Mix the marinade, coat the chicken and refrigerate for 1 to 4 hours.
03
Make the tzatziki
Mix the curd, cucumber, garlic, herbs, lemon, oil and salt. Chill.
04
Skewer
Thread the chicken onto skewers, leaving a small gap between pieces.
05
Grill
Cook on a hot grill or griddle pan for 10 to 12 minutes, turning, until charred and cooked through. Cook until no pink remains and the juices run clear, or 74 °C at the thickest part if you use a thermometer.
06
Serve
Warm the pita. Fill with chicken, tzatziki, tomato and red onion.

Can I use the oven?+

What if my tzatziki is watery?+

Squeeze the grated cucumber very dry and use hung curd.
