Chicken Marinade

Method

Chicken Marinade

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for best flavor.

Grilling the Chicken

  1. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Gyro Assembly

  1. 3

    Assemble the Gyro

    While the chicken is resting, warm the pita bread on the grill for about 1 minute per side. Once warm, place the shredded lettuce on the pita, followed by sliced grilled chicken, diced tomato, red onion, shredded mozzarella, and crumbled feta cheese. Drizzle with honey mustard dressing.

  2. 4

    Serve

    Fold the pita over the filling to create a gyro. Serve immediately with extra honey mustard on the side if desired.
