  2. Heat the grill to high, or a frying pan over a medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 10 to 12 minutes, turning, until charred in places and cooked through.
  3. Make the tzatziki: grate the cucumber, squeeze out the water with your hands, and stir into the yoghurt with a little grated garlic and a pinch of salt.200 g natural yoghurt½ cucumber3 cloves garlic
  4. Warm the pittas in the toaster and cut open. Fill with chicken, tzatziki, shredded lettuce and chopped tomatoes, with the rest of the lemon squeezed over.8 pittas1 lettuce250 g tomatoes
The trick that makes it

Squeeze the grated cucumber in a clean tea towel so the tzatziki stays thick.
