- Option 1: Grilling – Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken strips for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
- Option 2: Pan-searing – Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil to the pan and cook the chicken strips for about 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked.
4. Warm the Pita Bread:
- While the chicken is cooking, warm the pita bread or flatbreads in a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until soft and slightly browned.
- Alternatively, you can warm them in the oven or microwave.
5. Assemble the Gyros:
- Place the warm pita bread on a plate.
- Add a few spoonfuls of the cooked chicken to the center of each pita.
- Top with a generous amount of the cucumber tzatziki sauce.
- Add any extra toppings you desire, such as sliced tomatoes, onions, lettuce, or even a sprinkle of fresh parsley or dill.
6. Serve:
- Fold the pita around the chicken and tzatziki, wrap it up, and enjoy your delicious Greek Chicken Gyros with Cucumber Tzatziki!
Tips:
- You can customize the toppings by adding sliced red onions, fresh tomatoes, or even Kalamata olives for extra flavor.
- For a more authentic touch, serve with a side of Greek fries (crispy fries topped with oregano, salt, and lemon).
- If you prefer a healthier version, you can skip the pita and serve the chicken and tzatziki sauce with a salad or wrap it in a lettuce leaf.
