    Tzatziki:

    • 1 medium cucumber, peeled and coarsely chopped

    • 2 cloves garlic, minced

    • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

    • 1 ½ teaspoons dried dill weed

    • 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar

    • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

    • salt and ground black pepper to taste

    Chicken:

    • 4 cloves garlic, minced

    • 1 medium lemon, juiced

    • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

    • 1 tablespoon dried oregano

    • 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar

    • salt and ground black pepper to taste

    • 1 ¼ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into strips

    Gyros:

    • 6 (6 inch) pita bread rounds

    • 1 medium tomato, diced

    • 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced

    • ½ head iceberg lettuce, chopped

Directions

  1. Gather all ingredients.
  2. Make the tzatziki: Combine yogurt, cucumber, garlic, oil, dill, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a blender. Blend until smooth, then cover and refrigerate until needed.
  3. Make the chicken: Whisk garlic, lemon juice, oil, oregano, vinegar, salt, and pepper together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add chicken and toss until evenly coated. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  4. Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.

  5. Remove chicken from the marinade and place onto the prepared baking sheet.

  6. Broil in the preheated oven until lightly browned and no longer pink in the center, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer cooked chicken to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.

  7. While the chicken is resting, make the gyros: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook each pita in the hot skillet until warm and soft, about 1 minute per side.

  8. Top warm pitas with chicken strips, tzatziki, lettuce, tomato, and onion. Enjoy!
