Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless chicken thighs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 cucumber (grated)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • Pita bread
  • Sliced tomatoes
  • Shredded lettuce
  • Sliced red onion

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil and lemon juice. Add chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Tzatziki Sauce: In another bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber (squeeze out excess water), minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and refrigerate to chill.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken thighs for about 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through. Let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  4. Assemble Your Gyros: Warm pita bread briefly. Layer sliced chicken, tzatziki sauce, sliced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and red onion on each pita. Roll tightly and serve immediately.
