An easy and delicious recipe for making Greek gyros with souvlaki chicken at home. This Mediterranean-flavored recipe can be served buffet-style allowing your guests to make their own gyros.

Ingredients

  • 0.75 cups balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 0.5 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 skinless , boneless chicken breast halves

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, mix balsamic vinaigrette, juice from 1/2 lemon, oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Place chicken in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour marinade over chicken, seal, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.

  3. 3

    Toss shredded cucumber with 1 teaspoon kosher salt; set aside for at least 5 minutes. In a medium bowl, mix yogurt, sour cream, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, rice vinegar, and olive oil. Season with garlic, fresh dill, and Greek seasoning. Squeeze cucumber to remove any excess water; stir into sauce. Season to taste with kosher salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.

  4. 4

    Remove chicken from marinade and place on the preheated grill. Discard remaining marinade. Cook chicken until juices run clear, about 8 minutes on each side. Remove chicken from heat, and allow to sit about 10 minutes before slicing into thin strips.

  5. 5

    Place pita rounds on the grill, and cook for about 2 minutes, until warm, turning frequently to avoid burning. Arrange warmed pita, sliced chicken, lettuce, onion, tomato, olives, and pepperoncini on a serving platter. Serve tzatziki sauce and feta cheese in separate bowls on the side. Stuff pita pockets with chicken and toppings to serve.
