Description
A delightful recipe for Mediterranean chicken gyros featuring marinated chicken, fresh veggies, and a creamy feta tzatziki sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 pita breads
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken by mixing olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add chicken thighs and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked to 165°F (75°C).
- Prepare the tzatziki by combining Greek yogurt, crumbled feta, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir until well mixed and creamy.
- Slice the cooked chicken and assemble the gyros by spreading tzatziki over pita breads, topping with chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. Roll tightly to serve.
Notes
For deeper flavors, marinate the chicken longer. Warm pitas just before serving for best results.
