Greek Chicken Gyros Delight (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Chicken Marinade

01 - 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - Juice of 1 lemon
04 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 2 teaspoons dried oregano
06 - Salt and pepper, to taste

→ Tzatziki Sauce

07 - 1 cup Greek yogurt
08 - 1 cucumber, grated and drained
09 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
10 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
11 - 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
12 - Salt and pepper, to taste

→ Serving

13 - 4 pita breads
14 - 1 tomato, sliced
15 - 1 red onion, thinly sliced
16 - Fresh lettuce

# Instructions:

01 - In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken thighs and ensure they are well coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
02 - In another bowl, mix Greek yogurt, grated and drained cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped dill, salt, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate to let the flavors meld.
03 - 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.
04 - Warm the pita breads on a 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.
05 - Fold the pitas over the fillings or roll them up. Serve immediately while warm.

# Notes:

01 - Allowing the chicken to marinate overnight enhances the flavor.
