Instructions

Place the melted butter, dill, oregano, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a gallon-size zip-top freezer bag. Seal the bag and shake the contents to combine. Open the bag and set the chicken inside. Seal the bag once again, being careful to press the air out of the bag while doing so. Shake the chicken in the bag to coat with marinade. Refrigerate the chicken in the marinade for 30 minutes.

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the yogurt sauce by stirring together the yogurt, lemon juice, diced cucumber, dill, garlic, salt and pepper. Cover the sauce and refrigerate until serving.

Heat grill to medium heat.

Grill the chicken over direct heat, about 10 minutes per side, until cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes. Once the meat has rested, thinly slice the chicken across the grain.

Serve chicken on pita bread with tomatoes, red onion, and a generous tablespoon of yogurt sauce.
