Chicken Marinade and Sandwich Assembly
Method
Preparation and Cooking
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them well in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Grill the Chicken
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Assemble the Gyros
Warm the pita bread on the grill for about 1 minute on each side. Slice the grilled chicken and place it on the warm pita. Top with shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, and red onion. Add a generous spoonful of tzatziki sauce on top.
