Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Dice chicken evenly so all pieces cook at the same rate—aim for 1- to 1.5-inch cubes.
Don't skip the tomato paste; it deepens the spice blend and prevents the chicken from drying out.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after baking before plating to retain juices.
Make tzatziki just before serving to keep it cool and prevent the yogurt from separating.
