# Steps to Cook:
01 -
Combine olive oil, Greek yoghurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, cumin, and salt in a large bowl. Add chicken thighs and toss to coat evenly. Marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
02 -
Grate cucumber, then squeeze out excess moisture using a clean tea towel. In a bowl, mix drained cucumber with Greek yoghurt, minced garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice. Season generously with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until needed.
03 -
Combine quartered cherry tomatoes, finely chopped shallot, parsley, and olive oil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently and refrigerate until ready to serve.
04 -
Heat a griddle pan with vegetable oil over medium to medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 6 to 8 minutes per side until fully cooked, or alternatively roast at 428°F (220°C) for approximately 20 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
05 -
Heat flatbreads according to package instructions until soft and pliable.

Spread tzatziki on each flatbread. Top with sliced chicken, tomato salad, and a generous handful of potato stick crisps. Serve immediately.
