BURGERS & SANDWICHES

1. 1

   Make tzatziki sauce

   In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, dill, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt. Mix well and refrigerate to let flavors meld.

2. 2

   Marinate chicken

   Whisk together the 120 ml yogurt, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 2 minced garlic cloves, oregano, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Add chicken thighs and coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate 30–60 minutes.

3. 3

   Prepare toppings

   Wash and slice lettuce, dice tomatoes, and thinly slice red onion. Set aside.

4. 4

   Cook chicken

   Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes per side. Rest 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.

5. 5

   Warm pita

   Warm pita breads on grill or in a dry skillet until pliable and lightly toasted.

6. 6

   Assemble gyro

   Spread tzatziki on each pita, add chicken strips, then top with lettuce, tomato, and onion. Fold and serve immediately.
