Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 pita breads
  • 1 cup tzatziki sauce

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add the sliced chicken breasts and toss to coat evenly with the marinade.
  3. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  4. Grill the chicken slices for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and nicely charred.
  5. While the chicken is grilling, warm the pita breads on the grill for about 1 minute on each side.
  6. To assemble the gyros, place a few slices of grilled chicken on each pita bread.
  7. Top with cucumber slices, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and fresh parsley.
  8. Drizzle with tzatziki sauce and fold the pita bread to enclose the filling.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious 30-Minute Greek Chicken Gyros!

Notes

You can make the tzatziki sauce at home or use store-bought to save time. For a gluten-free option, serve the grilled chicken and toppings over a bed of lettuce. Feel free to add other toppings like feta cheese or olives for extra flavor!
