Greek Chicken Gyros with Cucumber Tzatziki

Ingredients

For the Chicken:

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste

For the Tzatziki Sauce:

1 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cucumber, grated
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

For the Gyros:

4 pita breads
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 tomato, chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken thighs for 5-7 minutes per side until fully cooked. Let the chicken rest, then slice into strips.

Warm the pita breads and spread each with tzatziki sauce. Add the sliced chicken, red onion, tomato, and parsley. Roll up and serve immediately.
