Notes from Rachel

I rarely add the cucumber (or the lemon zest) to the tzatziki sauce because that's a hassle. Tastes great without both, but I left them in the recipe because I don't know if you can still call the sauce tzatziki if it doesn't have cucumber.

In lieu of pico de gallo, you could use red onions and diced tomatoes.

Sometimes I add a couple tsp of water to the marinade when I want better coverage of the chicken.
