Method

Mix together the ingredients for the marinade and stir in the chicken. Marinate in the fridge for at least four hours or overnight.
When ready to cook, heat olive oil in a pan and when shimmering with heat, cook the chicken for 4 minutes on each side, until charred and crusty and cooked through and tender inside.
Cool and store in an air-tight container for up to three days. Throw out any leftover marinade.
To serve, toast some pitta, heat the chicken either in the microwave or on a hot pan and stuff in the pitta with salad vegetables and a generous drizzle of tzatziki.
