Directions

Make the Tzatziki
In a blender or food processor, combine all tzatziki ingredients: yogurt, cucumber, garlic, olive oil, dill, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth. Cover and refrigerate while you prepare the chicken.
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, whisk together garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper. Add chicken strips and toss to coat evenly. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
Cook the Chicken
Preheat your broiler and line a baking sheet with foil. Arrange the marinated chicken strips in a single layer. Broil about 6 inches from the heat source for 2–4 minutes per side, or until the chicken is lightly browned and cooked through. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
Warm the Pitas
While the chicken rests, warm the pita bread in a dry skillet over medium heat, about 1 minute per side, until soft and pliable.
Assemble the Gyros
Lay out a warm pita and fill it with cooked chicken, a generous dollop of tzatziki, lettuce, tomatoes, and red onion slices. Wrap it up and enjoy!

Recipe Note

Storage Tips

Store leftover chicken and toppings separately in airtight containers.
Tzatziki keeps well in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Reheat pita and chicken just before assembling.
