Directions

In a large ziploc bag, combine 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 cup yogurt, lemon juice, seasoning mix, lemon zest, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Add chicken and massage bag to combine all ingredients. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours.

Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan to high heat.
Make the yogurt sauce: In a small bowl, stir together remaining yogurt and garlic, cucumber, vinegar and salt to taste.

Grill the chicken until cooked, turning once halfway through cooking (chicken will get slightly charred – you want this to happen!). Transfer to plate; let rest 5 minutes. While chicken is resting, spray both sides of pitas with nonstick cooking spray and lightly toast both sides on the grill, about 30 seconds per side.

Assemble: however you want!
