Description
Tender, marinated chicken cooked to perfection and wrapped in warm pita with a tangy, creamy feta tzatziki sauce, fresh veggies, and Mediterranean flavors.
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, sliced into strips
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 large pita breads
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup sliced red onion
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup grated cucumber, squeezed dry
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tsp lemon zest
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add chicken strips, toss to coat, and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- While chicken marinates, make the tzatziki: mix Greek yogurt, feta, grated cucumber, dill, and lemon zest in a bowl. Chill until ready to use.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken strips for 6-8 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- Warm pita breads in the skillet or oven for 1-2 minutes.
- Assemble gyros: spread tzatziki on each pita, add lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, and cooked chicken. Fold or wrap and serve immediately.
