      1 sm Red onion; sliced in half

           Pitted kalamata olives
 
  Marinate chicken and prepare gyro fixings. In a larger
  mixing bowl, combine the marinade ingredients, mix well.
  Add the chicken tenders and mix to make sure chicken is
  well coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for
  30 minutes (or refrigerate overnight.)
  
  MEANWHILE, MAKE TZTAZIKI SAUCE: Prep the cucumber. In a
  food processor, grate the cucumbers. Toss with 1/2 tsp
  kosher salt. Transfer to a fine mesh strainer over a
  deep bowl to drain. Spoon the grated cucumber into a
  cheese cloth or a double thickness napkin and squeeze
  dry. Set aside briefly.
  
  In one large mixing bowl, place the garlic with
  remaining 1/2 tsp salt, white vinegar, and extra virgin
  olive oil. Mix to combine.
  
  Add the grated cucumber to the large bowl with the
  garlic mixture. Stir in the yogurt and white pepper.
  Combine thoroughly. Cover tightly and refrigerate for a
  couple of hours.
  
  When ready to serve, stir the tzatziki sauce to refresh
  and transfer to serving bowl, drizzle with more extra
  virgin olive oil, if you like.
  
  COOK CHICKEN. Heat 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil in a
  non-stick skillet over medium-high until shimmering but
  not smoking. Add chicken tenders to the pan (make sure
  to shake off any excess marinade before adding chicken
  to the pan.) Cook on one side undisturbed for 5 minutes
  until browned. Using a pair of tongs, turn chicken over
  and cook on other side for another 5 minutes or until
  chicken is done. (See notes for outdoor grilling)
  
  ASSEMBLE THE CHICKEN GYROS. Warm up some pita. Spread
  Tztaziki sauce on top, then add chicken (about 2 to 3
  tenders) and top with tomato, cucumber, green pepper,
  red onion and olives as you like. Wrap the pita up and
  enjoy!
