Ingredients
    8 bamboo skewers
    1 cucumber - peeled, seeded, and shredded
    1 (12 ounce) container Greek-style yogurt
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    2 sprigs fresh dill, chopped
    salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
    2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch strips
    2 sprigs fresh oregano, chopped
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1 lemon, juiced
    2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
    3 Roma tomatoes, diced
    1 cucumber - peeled, seeded, and diced
    1/2 red onion, cut into thin 1-inch-long strips
    2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    1/2 lemon, juiced
    8 pita bread rounds
    4 ounces feta cheese, cut into 1/4-inch slices
Preparation
    Soak the bamboo skewers in water for 30 to 40 minutes.
    Place shredded cucumber in a fine mesh sieve and press out excess liquid; allow to drain for 15 minutes.
    Combine yogurt, 2 cloves minced garlic, shredded cucumber, dill, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside in the refrigerator to chill.
    Place chicken in a bowl and add the oregano, 2 cloves minced garlic, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl; stir thoroughly and set aside in the refrigerator to chill for 20 minutes.
    Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
    Combine tomatoes, diced cucumber, onion, 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Toss to combine.
    Skewer the marinated chicken.
    Grill the chicken skewers, squeezing with juice from 1/2 a lemon while cooking, until browned and no longer pink inside, about 5 minutes on each side.
    Heat the pita bread on the grill until warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Top each heated pita bread round with chicken from 1 skewer, 1 to 2 spoonfuls of yogurt sauce, and tomato salad. Top with feta cheese slices.
