Instructions
1
Gather all necessary ingredients for the dish
2
To prepare the tzatziki sauce, combine yogurt, cucumber, garlic, oil, dill, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a blender. Blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth consistency, then cover it and refrigerate it until required.
3
To prepare the chicken, whisk together garlic, lemon juice, oil, oregano, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a large glass or ceramic container. Add the chicken and mix until it is evenly coated with the marinade. Cover the container with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
4
Preheat the oven's broiler and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil to make it easier to clean up.
5
Remove the chicken from its marinade and place it onto the prepared baking sheet.
6
Place the chicken under the preheated broiler in the oven and cook until it is lightly browned and no longer pink in the center, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes.
7
While the chicken is resting, prepare the gyros: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook each pita in the hot skillet until it is warm and soft, about 1 minute per side.
8
Top warm pita bread with chicken strips, tzatziki sauce, lettuce, tomato, and onion.
