Greek Chicken Gyros

• Heat a grill pan, regular skillet, or outdoor grill over medium-high heat.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook it on the grill or in the skillet for 5-7 minutes per side (depending on thickness) until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
• Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips or strips against the grain.

4. Assemble the Gyros:

• Warm the pita bread or flatbreads by heating them briefly in a dry skillet or wrapping them in a damp towel and microwaving for 20 seconds.
• Place a warm pita on a plate, and layer the cooked chicken strips in the center.
• Top with sliced red onion, cucumber, and tomato. Add a generous spoonful of tzatziki sauce on top, followed by crumbled feta cheese and chopped parsley (if using).
• Optionally, squeeze a bit of fresh lemon juice over the top for added freshness.

5. Serve:

• Fold the pita around the fillings and serve the gyros immediately, with extra tzatziki sauce on the side for dipping.

Tips:

• Grilled Chicken Skewers: For a more authentic touch, you can skewer the marinated chicken and grill it on skewers for a traditional Greek-style presentation.
• Vegetarian Option: Swap the chicken for grilled vegetables (like zucchini, bell peppers, and mushrooms) for a delicious vegetarian gyro.
• Make Ahead: You can marinate the chicken and prepare the tzatziki sauce ahead of time for a quick and easy meal later.
• Toppings: Customize your gyro with other toppings like Kalamata olives, lettuce, or sliced red pepper.
