Ingredients

For the marinated chicken:

1 pound chicken breasts cut into thin strips (500 grams)
3 cloves garlic chopped
¼ cup Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon onion powder
Salt

Other ingredients:

Pita bread or tortillas
Tomatoes cut into cubes
Cucumber cut into cubes
Red onion thinly sliced
Chopped lettuce
Tzatziki sauce

Instructions

Cut the chicken breasts into strips. In a bowl, mix all the ingredients: yogurt, garlic, oregano, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, onion powder, and place the chicken strips in the mixture. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the grill or pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken strips until they are thoroughly cooked and golden brown.
Heat the pita bread or tortillas according to the package instructions.
Assemble the gyros by placing the cooked chicken strips on the pita bread or tortilla, adding cucumber, tomato, onion, lettuce, and any other desired toppings.
Finish by adding the tzatziki sauce.

Notes

Let the chicken marinate for a longer time if possible; this will allow the flavors to be fully absorbed.

In addition to pita bread, you can try with tortillas, flatbreads, or even wrap it in lettuce leaves for a low-carb option.

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients, such as ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and fresh lettuce, for an optimal taste.

Cook the chicken until it's thoroughly cooked and golden brown, but be sure not to overcook and dry it out.

Serve the gyros with chopped dill or mint leaves sprinkled on top for a touch of freshness.
