Method

Prepare the Chicken

  1. 1

    Shred the Chicken

    Remove the skin from the rotisserie chicken and shred the meat into bite-sized pieces. You should have about 2 cups of shredded chicken.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated.

Make the Tzatziki Sauce

    Prepare the Cucumber

    Grate the cucumber using a box grater or food processor, then squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.

  2. 4

    In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped dill, and salt. Stir until well mixed and creamy.

Assemble the Gyros

  1. 5

    Warm the Pita

    Lightly toast the pita bread in a skillet or oven until warm and pliable.

    Fill the Pita

    Place a generous amount of the seasoned shredded chicken in the center of each pita. Top with sliced tomatoes, red onion, shredded lettuce, and crumbled feta cheese.

    Add Tzatziki

    Drizzle a good amount of tzatziki sauce over the filled pita.

    Wrap and Serve

    Fold the pita in half to enclose the filling. Serve immediately with extra tzatziki on the side.
