Steps:
- In a small bowl whisk together the ingredients for the marinade.
- Trim the chicken and place it in a zip-top bag. Carefully pour all of the marinade over the chicken. Close the bag tightly and use your hands to massage the chicken to spread the marinade all over the chicken pieces. Refrigerate for at least two hours and up to four hours.
- When ready to cook the chicken, remove from the refrigerator and let it stand at room temperature for half an hour.
- Heat your grill to medium high. Place chicken pieces on the grill and cook the first side for about 4 to 5 minutes, then turn over and cook on the other side for about 3 to 4 minutes (depending on the thickness). With an instant read thermometer, check the temperature - it should register 165° F. Remove the chicken from the grill and cover loosely with foil. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Squeeze a little lemon juice over the chicken and serve wrapped in warm pita bread, with a good amount of ttzatziki, tomatoes, and sliced red onions.
