Instructions
- Cube the chicken thighs into 2cm pieces. Toss with olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt and pepper. Marinate at least 30 min (overnight is better).
- Make the tzatziki: grate the cucumber (skin on), squeeze dry in a clean tea towel. Mix with Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped dill, salt and pepper.
- Quick-pickle the red onion: slice thinly, toss with red wine vinegar, sugar and pinch of salt. Let sit 15 min.
- Make the tomato-cucumber salad: dice tomato and remaining cucumber. Toss with red wine vinegar, olive oil, chopped parsley, salt and pepper.
- Thread the marinated chicken onto 4 skewers, tightly packed.
- Heat a griddle pan or wide pan over high heat, brush with oil. Lay the skewers down. Cook 3 min per side, turning, until charred and cooked through.
- Warm the flatbreads in a dry pan 20 sec per side.
- Build: lay a flatbread on each plate, smear with tzatziki, top with a kebab (slid off the skewer), spoon over the tomato salad, scatter pickled onion, more dill and a wedge of lemon. Eat by tearing the flatbread and using as a wrap.
