While chicken marinades, in a small bowl add greek yogurt, chopped cucumber, chopped red onion, chopped fresh mint, chopped fresh dill, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil and salt. If the sauce is too thick, add 1/2 tablespoon of water at a time until desired thinness is reached.

The Spruce / Maxwell Cozzi
Remove chicken from marinade and grill until the center is no longer pink and the exterior is golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.

The Spruce / Maxwell Cozzi
Place a piece of tinfoil on your countertop. Add the warmed pita to the middle of the tinfoil and top with chopped lettuce, tzatziki sauce, chicken tenders, tomato, red onion, and dill. Gently lift the sides of the pita up to create a taco-like shape to your chicken gyro.

Pull the tinfoil tight around the sandwich (to help keeps it shape) and serve.
