Mediterranean Delight: Greek Chicken Gyros with Cucumber Tzatziki

ADVERTISEMENT

1 tsp white wine vinegar or lemon juice

1 tbsp chopped fresh dill or mint (optional)

Salt to taste

πŸ«“ For Serving:
Warm pita bread or flatbreads

Sliced red onions

Chopped tomatoes

Romaine or arugula

Crumbled feta (optional)

Extra lemon wedges

πŸ”₯ Instructions:
1. Marinate the Chicken:
In a bowl or zip-top bag, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, cumin, paprika, salt & pepper. Add chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes, ideally 2–4 hours in the fridge.

2. Make the Tzatziki:
Combine all tzatziki ingredients in a bowl. Mix well and chill until ready to serve (the flavor gets better as it sits!).

3. Cook the Chicken:
Grill, pan-sear, or bake the chicken until fully cooked (internal temp of 165Β°F / 74Β°C). Let it rest, then slice thinly.

4. Assemble the Gyros:
Warm your pita, spread a generous layer of tzatziki, add chicken, and top with onions, tomatoes, greens, and feta.

Roll it up, wrap in parchment (for that authentic street-food vibe), and serve with extra sauce and lemon on the side!

πŸ§„ Pro Tip: Add a pinch of sumac or a splash of red wine vinegar on the onions for a tangy twist!
