Method

Tzatziki

Step 1: Grate about ½–¾ cup of cucumber and wring it out well in a paper towel. Lay it on a fresh paper towel and lightly salt to draw out more moisture. After 15 minutes, dab dry with another paper towel.
About 15 min
Step 2: Add the yogurt to a bowl with the lemon juice, grated cucumber, garlic, and dill. Season with salt and pepper and mix. Taste after 15 minutes and adjust; I added more salt and lemon juice.
About 15 min

To serve

Step 3: Dice about a cup of cucumber. Cut half a tomato into strips and half an onion into long strips pole to pole.

Chicken

Step 4: Season the chicken generously on both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika. Let sit 20–30 minutes (do this while the tzatziki sits).
About 25 min
Step 5: Heat the oil over medium-high. Cook the thighs through, flipping at least once, about 5–7 minutes per side; use a thermometer. Slice AGAINST THE GRAIN to keep it tender.
About 14 min

To serve

Step 6: Spread tzatziki all over a large pita. Add chicken, then tomato, cucumber, onion, and more sauce to your liking.
