Chicken Gyro
Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a bowl, combine minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Mix well to create a marinade.
-
Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips and place them in the marinade. Ensure the chicken is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
-
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the tzatziki sauce. In another bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste. Refrigerate the sauce until ready to use.
-
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken strips until they are cooked through and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes per side.
-
Warm the pita bread in the skillet for a minute on each side until it becomes pliable and slightly toasted.
-
To assemble the gyro, spread a generous amount of tzatziki sauce on the pita bread. Top it with cooked chicken strips, sliced tomatoes, red onions, cucumbers, and lettuce leaves.
-
Roll up the pita bread tightly to encase all the delicious fillings. Secure the gyro with a parchment paper or foil to keep it in place.
-
Serve the Chicken Gyro warm, with extra tzatziki sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy the explosion of flavors in every bite!
