    This recipe is fantastic. I made the tzatziki the night before and let it chill overnight and it tasted great! I added just a little more lemon juice and dill to give it lots of flavor. The marinade gives the chicken excellent flavor. The idea of making the bread out of pizza dough is great and so easy. I will definitely be making this recipe again in the future.

    I'm surprised how delicious and easy this recipe is. I just made a few tweaks. I have used dried dill each time and it still taste great. Only thing though when you make the yogurt sauce first so the moisture can rehydrate the dill and the flavors can marinate. I also found cheap Greek yogurt, so I used that. The excess water from the cucumbers and regular yogurt I would think would make it too watery. I never used hot sauce, why if it's suppose to cool and refreshing, right? I added some granulated garlic instead to give it more flavor. Also, I use Middle Eastern flat bread I bought at Traders for like 2.20 because it's hard to find a cheap good pita bread. Overall though, this is recipe is winner.

    I marinated the chicken overnight and then grilled them as well ! It was delicious!! And just to save some time I just used some regular pitas and grilled them as well! These are fast and delicious! I will be keeping this recipe for future use!!

    This is the best! I used Tandoori Naan Flat bread in place of the pizza dough. Great flavor and simple to make. I will make this again and again.

    I absolutley loved this! I used dried dill (2 tsp instead of fresh (I am too cheap :. I also did the round 2 recipe and we loved that too. I did not use the pizza dough since it is pricey (I told you I was cheap. I used Papa Pita's from Costco. They are a dozen for 2 or 3 dollars. I did the pizza on that too. I also added a bit of lemon zest to the Tzatziki sauce. I thought it brightened it up a bit. I think it was the best sauce I have had. Definatley a home run!

    I saw this on TV and had to make it. Due to a lack of time, I only cooked the chicken portion, not the grilled pita or tzaziki sauce. I served the chicken with rice pilaf and roasted green beans. The chicken was great - moist, flavorful and very well seasoned. My family loved it. I will definitely make this again. The recipe is a keeper.

    So I'm still burning from the pepper sauce, our Caribbean pepper sauce is quite hot, so I put the exact amount without thinking and I'm still paying for it.

    Haven't found fresh Dill so I substituted Rosemary and Thyme into the marinade and for the sauce Parsley and Chive.

    Substituted white vinegar for the lemon juice, and regular oil. And added red chili flakes, 1.5t dried Oregano and fresh curly Parsley. And used Thigh, Leg and Breast from a whole Chicken so I'm not sure how much in total it was. Left it to marinade for about 24 hours. Wanted to make sure I got as much flavor as possible and it worked, it tasted great.

    Used 6oz of Yogurt and added 2 cloves of Garlic to the Sauce.

    For some reason the pizza dough that I made would not cook properly in the skillet, had no grill pan. So I ended up using Onion Pita Bread.

    I'm definitely going to be making this dish again. Thank you.

    I made the chicken and t-sauce without the pizza dough pitas. Served with a Greek salad and a bit of tapanade, this was as good as what I order at my local Greek eatery. The only thing I disliked was the spicy t-sauce. I cut the sauce to 3/4 tsp and still thought it was too much. The chicken, however, was excellent and now goes into my regular rotation!

    This chicken is very tasty and came out perfect. However, I will not try the pizza dough again, it ended up too thick no matter what I did and the finished product was a little too bready for me. Also, the sauce was not what I was hoping for, but it was okay.
