Introduction

Step 3
Seal and shake the bag thoroughly to coat the chicken, then place in the refrigerator to marinate for 1 hour.
Step 4
For the tzatziki sauce, combine 2 cups of Greek yogurt, 2 cloves of chopped garlic, and the juice of the remaining 1/2 lemon in a bowl.

Important Notes
Pounding the chicken breasts helps them cook more evenly and tenderizes the meat.
Using a slotted spoon or spatula beneath the lemon while squeezing is a great hack to catch any falling seeds.
Dressing the salad toppings in Italian dressing first adds a great zesty flavor and keeps the pita sandwich moist.
