Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped cucumber

  • Tzatziki sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add chicken pieces to the marinade and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
  3. Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Grill or pan-fry the chicken until cooked through and lightly browned, about 6-8 minutes per side.
  5. Warm the pita breads according to package directions.
  6. Assemble the gyros: spread tzatziki sauce on each pita.
  7. Top with cooked chicken, feta cheese, red onion, cucumber, tomatoes, and parsley.
  8. Fold the pita in half and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cumin to the marinade.
  • Serve with extra tzatziki sauce on the side for dipping.
  • Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preference.
