About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cucumber
- 1 tbsp fresh dill
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 4 pita breads
- 1 tomato
- ½ red onion
- 4 lettuce leaves
Instructions
- 1In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the gyros marinade.
- 2Add the chicken strips to the bowl, toss to coat evenly, and let marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes (or refrigerate up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).
- 3While the chicken marinates, prepare the tzatziki: in a separate bowl, mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, chopped dill, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt; refrigerate until needed.
- 4Preheat a grill pan or heavy skillet over medium‑high heat (about 400°F / 392°F).
- 5Add the marinated chicken strips in a single layer; cook for 4‑5 minutes per side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and lightly charred, stirring occasionally.
- 6Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and let rest for 2 minutes before slicing into bite‑size pieces.
- 7While the chicken rests, warm the pita breads: place them on the hot pan for 30 seconds per side or wrap in foil and heat in a 350°F (347°F) oven for 5 minutes.
- 8Assemble each gyro: lay a lettuce leaf on a pita, add a portion of chicken, then top with tomato slices, red onion, and a generous drizzle of tzatziki.
- 9Serve immediately with extra lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.
- 10Enjoy your Greek Feast Chicken Gyros while hot and fresh.
