Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 4 pitas
  • 1 cup lettuce, shredded
  • 1 cup tomatoes, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp dill, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

  3. 3

    Coat the chicken breasts with the marinade and let sit for about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Allow to rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  5. 5

    While the chicken is cooking, prepare the tzatziki sauce by mixing the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, and dill (if using) in a small bowl. Set aside.

  6. 6

    To assemble the gyros, place sliced chicken inside the pita, followed by shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced red onion, and diced cucumber.

  7. 7

    Drizzle with tzatziki sauce and fold the pita around the filling to serve.
