1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (for marinade)
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 clove garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon fresh dill (chopped)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
6–7 large pita bread rounds
4 ripe tomatoes (sliced)
4 cucumbers (thinly sliced)
4 green bell peppers (julienned)
8 radishes (sliced)
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (for tzatziki)
1 clove garlic (grated)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (tzatziki)

Optional: 1/4 cup sliced red onion (pickled optional), 4 tbsp ready-made tzatziki, 4 tbsp ketchup or mustard
Instructions
Whisk marinade ingredients: olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic, dill, salt, and pepper.
Submerge chicken in marinade; refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook chicken (2 breasts at a time) 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
Meanwhile, blend tzatziki ingredients in a food processor until smooth.
Warm pita bread in oven, then spread with tzatziki.
Layer chicken, tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, radishes, and optional red onion.
Drizzle with ketchup or mustard before rolling.

Use ready-made tzatziki to save time.
