Ingredients

  • •1.5 lbs boneless chicken breast, thinly sliced
  • •3 tablespoons olive oil
  • •2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • •1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • •1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • •1 teaspoon paprika
  • •1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper
  • •1 cup Greek yogurt
  • •1/2 cucumber, grated cucumber
  • •1 clove garlic, minced
  • •4 pita breads
  • •1 cup diced tomatoes and onions

Directions

  1. 1Mix olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper in a bowl. Add chicken slices and marinate for 20 minutes.
  2. 2Combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, and salt to make tzatziki sauce.
  3. 3Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken for 8-10 minutes until golden and cooked through, stirring occasionally.
  4. 4Warm pita breads in the oven or on a skillet for 1-2 minutes.
  5. 5Assemble gyros by placing cooked chicken on warm pita, topping with diced tomatoes and onions, and drizzling generously with tzatziki sauce.

💡 Gyro-style chicken benefits from thin, even pieces and a hot finish; crowded pieces steam and miss the char that carries the seasoning.
