Method

Chicken Marinade

Marinate the Chicken

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

Grill the Chicken

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

Tzatziki Sauce

Prepare the Tzatziki

Grate the cucumber and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel. In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, chopped dill, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.

Gyro Assembly

Assemble the Gyros

Warm the pita bread slightly on the grill or in a pan. On each pita, layer sliced grilled chicken, crumbled feta cheese, shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and thinly sliced red onion. Top generously with tzatziki sauce.

Serve

Fold the pita over the fillings, wrap it in foil if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade Chicken Gyro!
