Authentic Greek Chicken Gyros

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, pepper, and lemon juice to create a marinade.

Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld.

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the tzatziki sauce. In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, chopped dill, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is done and has a nice char. Once done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.

Warm the pita breads either on a grill or in the oven for a couple of minutes until they are pliable and warm.

To assemble the gyros, start with a pita, spread a generous amount of tzatziki sauce, add several slices of grilled chicken, and top with sliced tomatoes, red onions, and shredded lettuce.

Roll up the pita to enclose the filling and enjoy!
