STEPS

Cut chicken into large cubes. Soak bamboo skewers in water.

Whisk lemon juice, olive oil, lemon zest, garlic, thyme, rosemary, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate to marinate for at least 20 minutes.

Mix yogurt, cucumber, garlic, olive oil, dill, vinegar, and salt for tzatziki in a small bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.

Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) and line two baking sheets with foil.

Toss onion, bell pepper, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder together in a bowl. Spread vegetables onto a baking sheet.

Skewer marinated chicken on bamboo skewers, discarding leftover marinade. Place chicken on the second prepared baking sheet.

Bake chicken on the middle oven rack and vegetables on the bottom rack for 15 minutes. Remove vegetables.

Turn on the broiler. Broil chicken for 2 minutes until browned. Ensure internal temperature reads 165°F (74°C).

Remove chicken from skewers and place into pita breads. Top with cooked vegetables, tzatziki sauce, and Sriracha.
