Step 1
Combine all of the ingredients for the marinade in a bowl and whisk well. Taste to see if you have enough salt. (Make sure to taste before you add the chicken!)
Step 2
Cut the chicken into about 1-inch cubes and add into a large zip-top bag (or a glass food storage container for marinating). Add the marinade and mix well to make sure all the chicken is coated well.
Step 3
Let the chicken marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight. (Don't exceed 12 hours of marinating time.)
Step 4
For the best results, cook the chicken kebabs on the grill.
Step 5
If you will be using wooden skewers, make sure to soak them in water first for about 45 minutes.
Step 6
Prepare the grill and preheat it to medium-high heat. (As always, it's best to have two temperature zones on the grill so if you need to move the chicken over to the cooler side, you can.)
Step 7
Skewer the chicken into the soaked skewers, fitting 4-5 pieces onto each skewer.
Step 8
Grill the chicken kebabs for about 4-5 minutes per side, turning them a quarter of the way. (Total time will be about 16-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chicken pieces.)
Step 9
While chicken is cooking, lightly brush pita bread with olive oil and place them onto the grill to heat through. Slice the vegetables and place them onto a serving dish.
Step 10
To serve chicken souvlaki, top each warm pita bread with some grilled chicken, sliced onions, tomatoes, and tzatziki sauce.
