My kids really love this food, basically they love everything that has to do with pitta. This dish is fast, tasty and most of all really Mediterranean! This is a dish you can prepare for any occasion, lunch, dinner and snack or even at your birthday party!

The Tzatziki sauce goes unbelievable nicely with the kebab , you can put it inside the pitta bread or you can just dip the pitta inside the Tzatziki and along with that just grab a nice beer and “Kali Oreksi” as we say in Greek and that means have a great appetite!

Instructions

  1. Put the cubed chicken into a bowl and drizzle with a good virgin oil, salt and pepper and mix all together.Pass the cubed chicken on the wooden skewers and make sure that one piece of meat with the other is well pushed on each other, in this way the pieces will not be rolling when you will grill them.
  2. Heat the griller on a medium to low temperature and start cooking , never cook the kebabs on high heat as they will burn on the outside and stay raw in the insight.
  3. Basically turn each side every 1-2 minutes until the outside begins to get slightly brown , don’t overcook them because chicken breast can become very chew.
  4. In the meantime put all the ingredients for the Tzatziki dipping into a bowl and mix well, really the secret for a successful Tzatziki is mixing all ingredients extremely well together.
  5. Get the Pitta bread and place it on the griller too, one way to understand if the Pitta bread is ready is when it will start get pumped in the middle , like a balloon , but that again depends from the make of the pitta bread. Just to be on the safe side cook for 3 minutes on each side.
  6. Cut the pitta bread in the middle and put it on a nice round dish , on top place the kebabs and sprinkle generously with the cucumber , tomato, onions , aside place a spoon of the Tzatziki.
