Preparation Steps

• Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
• Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they’re well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for maximum flavor.
• Make the Tzatziki: In a separate bowl, combine Greek yogurt, crumbled feta, grated cucumber, minced garlic, olive oil, fresh dill, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Cook the Chicken: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown.
• Slice the Chicken: Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Then, slice it into thin strips.
• Warm the Pita: If desired, warm the pita bread in a dry skillet for a minute on each side.
• Assemble the Gyros: Place a few slices of chicken in the center of the pita. Top with lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, cucumbers, and a generous spoonful of creamy feta tzatziki.
• Wrap and Serve: Fold the pita around the fillings and serve immediately, or wrap it in parchment paper for easy eating on the go.
