1. in a bowl, toss the chicken with the yogurt, 2 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, paprika, oregano, cumin, and 1 teaspoon salt. Marinate 15-30 minutes or up to 12 hours in the fridge.2. Meanwhile, toss together the tomatoes, cucumbers, 1 tablespoon olive oil, herbs, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Toss the bell peppers with 1 tablespoon olive oil. 3. Set your grill, grill pan, or skillet to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken until lightly charred and cooked through, about 10 to 12 minutes total. During the same time, grill the peppers until light char marks appear, about 5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the grill and let cool for 5 minutes, then thinly slice. 4. Cut open one side of the pita, creating a small opening. Stuff the chicken, cheese, and peppers, evenly between each pita. If your pitas don't have a pocket, just make quesadilla style and fold 1 half over the other. 5. Heat a panini press or large skillet over medium-high heat. Rub both sides of the pita with olive oil. Place one at a time, into the panini press and cook until the cheese is melted. Alternately, you can cook the sandwiches in a skillet as you would a grilled cheese.6. Serve each pita with Tzatziki, tomatoes, and cucumber slices on top. Eat!
