Greek Chicken Gyros
Ingredients:
For the chicken marinade:
1 pound chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
2 tablespoons olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Tzatziki sauce:
1 cup Greek yogurt
1 cucumber, grated and drained
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
For serving:
4 pita breads
1 tomato, sliced
1 red onion, thinly sliced
Fresh lettuce
Directions:
Marinate the chicken:
In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken thighs and make sure they are well coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
Prepare the Tzatziki sauce:
In another bowl, mix Greek yogurt, grated and drained cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped dill, salt, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate to let flavors meld.
Cook the chicken:
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and slightly charred. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.
Assemble the gyros:
Warm the pita breads on the grill or in a dry skillet. Place slices of cooked chicken on each pita, followed by slices of tomato, red onion, and a handful of lettuce.
Top each gyro with a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce.
Serve:
Fold the pitas over the fillings or roll them up. Serve immediately while warm.
