- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Tzatziki Sauce:
- 1 cup Greek yogurt

- 1 clove garlic grated
- ½ cup grated cucumbers
- 2 teaspoons fresh dill minced
- salt and pepper
serving:
- prepared french fries + thinly sliced red onions, sliced tomatoes

Instructions
- MARINATE: combine all the ingredients listed except the chicken and whisk until smooth. Stir in the chicken and make sure it's coated evenly. Cover and let marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.
- COOK: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and half the chicken to the skillet let cook for 5-7 minutes or until cooked, flipping halfway through. Transfer to a plate and cook the remaining batch of chicken adding additional oil if necessary. Discard any remaining marinade.
- TZATZIKI: Add the grated cucumbers to a sieve and using a wooden spoon, over the sink, press out as much of the water from the cucumbers as possible. Set cucumbers aside. Whisk the Greek yogurt and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice together until smooth. Fold in the grated garlic and cucumbers, dill, and season with salt and pepper as desired. Taste and adjust with additional lemon juice as desired.
- SERVE: place the desired amount of chicken in warmed pita or flatbread and top with prepared french fries, sliced onions, sliced tomatoes, and tzatziki sauce.
Notes
- You can replace the chicken tenders with boneless chicken breasts or thighs as well. Just slice them before or after cooking.
- Leftover Tzatziki sauce can be placed in an airtight container and refrigerated for up to 4 days.
