Instructions:
1οΈβ£ Marinate the Chicken:
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the diced chicken and toss to coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for deeper flavor). β±οΈ
2οΈβ£ Prepare the Tzatziki:
In a medium bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and dill. Season with salt and pepper. Stir until well combined, then cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. π₯π
3οΈβ£ Cook the Chicken:
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165Β°F). Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips. ππ₯
4οΈβ£ Assemble the Gyros:
Warm the pita breads on the grill for about 1 minute on each side.
Place a generous portion of chicken strips onto each pita. Top with fresh lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and red onions, then add a dollop of cucumber tzatziki. π₯
5οΈβ£ Serve:
Roll up the pita and serve immediately, with extra tzatziki on the side for dipping. Enjoy your Mediterranean delight! ππΏπ
