Ingredients

Marinated Chicken:

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Additional Ingredients:

  • 4 pieces of warm pita bread
  • 1 cup tzatziki sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • Fresh vegetables: sliced tomatoes, red onion, shredded lettuce

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add chicken strips and coat evenly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for best flavor).
  2. Grill the Chicken: Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked (internal temp of 165°F).
  3. Prepare Tzatziki Sauce: Combine grated cucumber, yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper in a bowl; chill.
  4. Assemble Gyros: Warm pita bread and layer with grilled chicken, tzatziki sauce, and fresh veggies. Roll tightly and serve.

Notes

  • For added flavor variations, experiment with different herbs in the marinade or try adding feta cheese as a topping.
