Easy chicken gyro recipe with marinated chicken, fresh veggies, and homemade tzatziki on a warm pita round.

Ingredients

1 container Greek yogurt , 16 ounce
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

Instructions

1

Gather all ingredients.
2

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.
3

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.
4

Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
5

Remove chicken from the marinade and place onto the prepared baking sheet.
6

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.
7

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.
8

Top warm pitas with chicken strips, tzatziki, lettuce, tomato, and onion.
