Directions

Preheat broiler.

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

Stir together with yogurt, ½ teaspoon lemon juice, one third of garlic, and ¼ teaspoon each of salt and pepper to make tsatsiki.

Cut remaining cucumber into ¼ inch pieces and stir together with tomatoes, onion, parsley, mint, remaining ½ teaspoon lemon juice, and ¼ teaspoon each of salt and pepper to make salsa.

Gently simmer oil, oregano, rosemary, remaining garlic, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ⅛ 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.
