Ingredients

2 each kirby cucumbers divided
3/4 pound greek yogurt about 1 1/2 cups
1 teaspoon lemon juice fresh, divided
5 cloves garlic minced, divided
1 pint cherry tomatoes quartered
1 each red onion small, halved and thinly sliced
1/3 cup parsley leaves flat-leaf, chopped
1/4 cup mint chopped
1/4 cup olive oil, extra-virgin
1 teaspoon oregano rounded, dried
1 teaspoon rosemary leaves rounded, dried, crumbled
12 ounces bread four 8-inch pieces, naan, or 4 (8-inch) pocketless pita rounds
1/2 each chicken roast, skin discarded, meat shredded (about 2 1/4 cups), and carcass reserved for stock
1/2 each iceberg lettuce thinly sliced

Directions

Preheat broiler.

Peel and grate 1 cucumber, then squeeze it with your hands to remove excess water.

Stir together with yogurt, 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice, one third of garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper to make tsatsiki.

Cut remaining cucumber into 1/4-inch pieces and stir together with tomatoes, onion, parsley, mint, remaining 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper to make salsa.

Gently simmer oil, oregano, rosemary, remaining garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a small heavy saucepan, stirring constantly, until garlic is fragrant but not browned, 1 to 2 minutes.

Toss chicken with 3 tablespoons garlic oil and brush one side of bread with remainder.

Heat bread, oiled side up, in a 4-sided sheet pan, covered with foil, 3 to 4 inches from broiler 3 minutes.

Uncover and broil, rotating bread for even coloring, until golden in spots, about 2 minutes.

Spread some of tsatsiki on warm bread and top with chicken and some of lettuce and salsa.

Serve remaining lettuce, salsa, and tsatsiki on the side.
