6 servings

  • 1 (16 ounce) container Greek yogurt
  • 1 medium cucumber, peeled and coarsely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1.5 teaspoons dried dill weed
  • 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium lemon, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1.25 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into strips
  • 6 (6 inch) pita bread rounds
  • 1 medium tomato, diced
  • 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 0.5 head iceberg lettuce, chopped

Instructions

  • Gather all ingredients.
  • Make the tzatziki: Combine yogurt, cucumber, garlic, oil, dill, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a blender. Blend until smooth, then cover and refrigerate until needed.
  • Make the chicken: Whisk garlic, lemon juice, oil, oregano, vinegar, salt, and pepper together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add chicken and toss until evenly coated. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
  • Remove chicken from the marinade and place onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Broil in the preheated oven until lightly browned and no longer pink in the center, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer cooked chicken to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.
  • While the chicken is resting, make the gyros: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook each pita in the hot skillet until warm and soft, about 1 minute per side.
  • Top warm pitas with chicken strips, tzatziki, lettuce, tomato, and onion.
  • Enjoy!
