STEPS

In a small bowl, mix balsamic vinaigrette, lemon juice, oregano, and black pepper. Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag, pour marinade over, seal, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat.

Toss shredded cucumber with kosher salt and set aside for 5 minutes. Mix yogurt, sour cream, lemon juice, rice vinegar, and olive oil. Season with garlic, dill, and Greek seasoning. Squeeze cucumber to remove excess water and stir into the sauce. Refrigerate.

Remove chicken from marinade and discard marinade. Grill chicken until juices run clear, about 8 minutes per side. Rest for 10 minutes before slicing into strips.

Warm pita rounds on the grill for about 2 minutes, turning frequently. Arrange chicken, lettuce, onion, tomato, olives, and pepperoncini on a platter. Serve tzatziki sauce and feta cheese on the side.
