Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper to make a marinade.
- Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, coating them well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.

- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
- Warm the pita bread on the grill for about 1 minute on each side.
- Assemble the gyros by placing sliced chicken on the warm pita, adding fresh vegetables, and drizzling tzatziki sauce on top.
- Roll the pita tightly and serve immediately.
Notes
- Marinating the chicken overnight enhances the flavor.
- Feel free to customize the vegetables used in the gyros.
- Serve with extra tzatziki sauce on the side for dipping.
