Made this very easy and very nice recipe with strips of chicken breast and put them in a pita pocket with some lettuce, onion, and sliced tomatoes (gyros style) with tzatziki sauce. This is a nice recipe for the tzatziki, using fresh mint. I didn't have time to marinate the chicken or fire up the gril, but the flavors came through just fine because I pan fried the chicken and the marinade together in a skillet on medium heat. As the chicken cooked, the marinade reduced and evaporated...then the chicken quickly browned beautifully, with a coating of those concentrated flavors.

Wonderful! I really loved the cucumber sauce. It was quick and easy and really made the dish. Even my picky eater said "These are good!". Will definitely make these again. Thanks for a great dish.

Delicious! I made the chicken to the recipe, cutting each breast into about 3 smaller pieces. I only marinated for 3 or so hours but the flavour was still excellent. The cucumber sauce (we know it as tzatziki) was great, although I couldnt get hold of any mint, fresh or dried, so left it out. I've just returned from a holiday in Greece so this was a fantastic meal for us to relive the wonderful food there! I will definitely be making again, thanks for sharing.

Absolutely fabulous. I didn't have time to marinade the chicken for but 20 minutes. The taste and mixture of ingredients were fa nominal. I can't imagine how even more delicious it is with the marinade at 24 hours. The cucumber sauce was also one of the best we have ever had. I didn't have mint, and substituted tarragon in it's place. It worked perfectly.

Very, very good. I've made it several times now and it's fabulous. Incidentally, the tzatziki is the best recipe I've come across. I modified the yogurt/mayo ratio to around 1.5/.5, and it's still great. This recipe goes great with greek pilafi.

Very easy and very good!! I used the more pedestrian versions of some of the ingredients and it still came out great.

Great chicken! I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out wonderful. The flavors of the marinade were perfect. I served this with some rice and a greek salad. I will make this often!

Loved this recipe! The only difference is that I used chicken thighs which were soooo good. I made this with the sauce and kittencal's greek salad. Thank you for this yummy recipe.

This recipe is delicious! I marinated chicken cubes for about 8 hours and it was perfect. The cucumber sauce is amazing! I had originally purchased a cucumber sauce that had expired so I made this one instead and glad I did. I haven't tasted a better one!...though I might go a little lighter on the salt next time. Will be making this for company! Thanks!
