Chicken Gyros Recipe

  • Recipe Submitted by on

Category: Dinner Party, Healthy Recipes, Main Dish, Chicken

 Ingredients List

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken (breasts or thighs)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 2 tsp red wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • kosher salt and pepper
  • 1 batch tzatziki sauce
  • sliced tomatoes
  • sliced onions
  • sliced cucumbers
  • lettuce
  • 4 (pocketless) pitas

 Directions

1. Whisk together the garlic, lemon juice, vinegar, oil, oregano, and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl and add to Ziploc bag. Add in chicken pieces and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour, turning halfway through.

2. Preheat the grill (or pan, or broiler). Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides, and then grill over indirect heat until cooked through, about 8 minutes per side, depending what size/type chicken you are using. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.

3. Meanwhile, warm your pita bread. I have a gas stove, so I just spray them with a little bit of oil and stick them right on the burner for a few seconds per side. Top the pita with the chicken, tzatziki, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and lettuce.
