Chicken Gyro Yogurt Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Marinate the Chicken

   In a bowl, combine yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the boneless chicken thighs and mix well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

2. 2

   Cook the Chicken

   Preheat a grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through and nicely charred. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

3. 3

   Saute the Pita Bread

   In a separate pan, lightly toast the pita bread on both sides until golden brown. This should take about 1-2 minutes on each side.

4. 4

   Assemble the Gyro

   Slice the grilled chicken and place it inside the warm pita bread. Top with chopped parsley and any additional yogurt sauce if desired. Serve immediately.
