Ingredients

  • 500 g Chicken Thighs Boneles, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1 tsp Oregano Dries
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Cumin Powder
  • Salt And Black Pepper To taste
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 4 Pitta Bread
  • 150 g Greek Yoghurt
  • 1 Cucumber Diced
  • 1 Tomato Diced
  • 1 Red Onion Thinly sliced
  • Mint Fresh leaves for garnish
  • Lemon Wedges For serving

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, ground cumin, salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Add the thinly sliced chicken thighs to the bowl and toss them until well-coated with the marinade. Let the chicken marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken slices and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are cooked through and have a nice golden brown colour.
  • While the chicken is cooking, warm the pitta breads in a dry skillet or in the oven until they are slightly toasted.
  • In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with a pinch of salt.
  • To assemble the gyros, spread a generous spoonful of Greek yogurt on each pitta bread. Add the cooked chicken slices, diced cucumber, tomato, and thinly sliced red onion.
  • Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
  • Roll up the pitta breads, enclosing the filling, and enjoy your delicious chicken gyro!
