garlic, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken thighs or breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for best flavor.
Prepare the Tzatziki Sauce:
In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, chopped dill, salt, and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.
Cook the Chicken:
Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then slice it into thin strips.
Assemble the Gyros:
Warm the pita bread or flatbreads on the grill or in a dry skillet.
Spread a generous amount of tzatziki sauce on each pita.
Top with sliced chicken, red onion, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, feta cheese, and fresh herbs if using.
Serve:
Fold the pita around the fillings to form a wrap and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade Greek Chicken Gyros!
