Description
A delightful blend of marinated chicken, fresh vegetables, and creamy feta tzatziki, perfect for gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- Begin by marinating the chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs and make sure they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked (165°F or 75°C). Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
- While the chicken cooks, prepare the tzatziki sauce. Combine Greek yogurt, feta, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- To assemble the gyros, spread a generous amount of tzatziki on each pita bread. Place sliced chicken on top, then add cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. Roll the pita to enjoy!
Notes
For added flavor, consider grilling the chicken and customizing the tzatziki with fresh herbs like dill or mint.
