Ingredients:
For the Chicken Marinade:
1 lb (450g) chicken breast, cut into strips
1 cup Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Tzatziki Sauce:
1 cup Greek yogurt
1 cucumber, grated and excess water squeezed out
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Gyros:
4 pita breads
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 cup lettuce, shredded
Optional: Feta cheese, olives
Directions:
Marinate the Chicken:
In a bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Add the chicken strips and coat them thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours, or preferably overnight.
Prepare the Tzatziki Sauce:
In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber (make sure to squeeze out the excess water), garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and dill.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.
Cook the Chicken:
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
Grill the marinated chicken strips for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred. Remove from heat and let the chicken rest.
Assemble the Gyros:
Warm the pita breads on a grill or in a skillet.
Place a few chicken strips in the center of each pita.
Add a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce, followed by cherry tomatoes, red onion slices, and shredded lettuce.
Top with feta cheese and olives, if desired.
Serve:
Fold the pita bread around the filling and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious Greek chicken gyros!
