Place the grated cucumber in paper towels and squeeze firmly to remove as much liquid as possible. In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, squeezed cucumber, half the garlic, half the lemon juice, half the salt, and the dill. Stir well and refrigerate until serving.
In a medium bowl, toss the chicken cubes with the oil, remaining garlic, remaining lemon juice, oregano, and the rest of the salt. Let the chicken marinate for 10 minutes. Thread the chicken onto two skewers.
Heat the nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the skewers in the hot pan. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally so all sides brown, until the chicken is cooked through. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Remove the chicken skewers from the skillet and set aside. Place the pita bread in the same skillet and warm for 1 minute, flip, and warm for 1 minute more.
Cut the warm pita into wedges. Serve the chicken skewers alongside the pita and a generous scoop of the chilled tzatziki.
