Chicken Gyro Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs and coat well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill or cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F). Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Pita

    While the chicken is resting, warm the pita bread on the grill or in a skillet for about 1-2 minutes until soft and pliable.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Gyros

    Slice the cooked chicken and place it in the warmed pita bread. Top with diced tomatoes, red onions, cucumbers, and a generous spoonful of tzatziki sauce.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the chicken gyros with a side of rice or fries, and enjoy!
