Chicken Gyro Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

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

  3. 3

    Prepare the Toppings

    While the chicken is cooking, prepare the toppings. Dice the tomato and cucumber, slice the red onion, and chop the parsley.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Platter

    Warm the pita bread slightly on the grill or in a skillet. To serve, place sliced chicken on each pita, add diced tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, and a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley.
