Greek Chicken Gyros

Easy, make-ahead chicken gyros! You can marinate the chicken ahead of time and whip up your homemade tzatziki too! So fast, so good!

Ingredients
  • 2 pounds chicken tenderloins
  • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 6 pita flatbreads
  • 2 cups shredded romaine
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • For the tzatziki sauce
  • ¾ cup Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup grated English cucumber, squeezed dry
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
  1. In a gallon size Ziploc bag, combine chicken, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Marinate for at least 2 hours, turning the bag occasionally. Drain the chicken from the marinade, discarding the marinade.
