For the Chicken
Cade saw a trick for cooking chicken and keeping it moist, so you're going to need a bread pan.
In a large ziplock, add all of the marinade ingredients then add the chicken. Toss around to coat everything well and place in your fridge for a minimum of 2 hours, Or we did overnight, flipping the bag occasionally.
Preheat oven to 350℉. Line a 9×5” bread pan with parchment paper to keep the bottom of the chicken from sticking.
Layer the chicken pieces in the pan and then press them firmly down. Bake for 1 hour or until the internal temperature reads 160°F.
Remove the pan from the oven and let it rest for ten minutes to redistribute juices.
Carefully lift out the chicken to a cutting board and discard the juices. Slice thin and proceed.
To fill a gyro, spread a little tzatziki on the pita or naan, then add the meat followed by the rest of the toppings. Fold like a taco to eat!
