# Steps to Prepare:
01 -
In a large resealable bag or mixing bowl, combine olive oil, white wine vinegar, minced garlic, Greek seasoning, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper. Add chicken pieces and mix to coat evenly. Seal and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, ideally overnight.

Preheat grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Thread marinated chicken onto skewers. Grill for 12–15 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and lightly charred. Remove from heat and rest 3 minutes.

Remove chicken from skewers and slice if needed. Place warmed pita breads on a flat surface. Distribute chicken, tomatoes, red onion, and lettuce evenly on each pita. Top generously with tzatziki sauce and any desired optional toppings.

Fold pitas around the fillings and serve immediately while warm for best texture.
# Extra Cooking Tips:

Do not skip marinating the chicken, as this step develops maximum flavour and tenderness.

Warm pitas before assembling to prevent tearing and improve pliability.
