For the Chicken Shawarma:

- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

To start, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, paprika, coriander, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add the chicken breasts and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, make the tzatziki sauce. In a separate bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, dill, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
When you're ready to cook the chicken, preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any excess marinade. Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
To serve, slice the chicken into thin strips and place on a pita bread. Top with sliced tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce.
