Directions
Begin by marinating the chicken. Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add the chicken thighs and toss well. Make sure all pieces are evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes or overnight for better result.
Meanwhile, make the sauce. Mix Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
Now, preheat the grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Once done, remove from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, slice the chicken into thin strips.
Warm up the pita bread on the grill or in a pan for a few seconds.
Assemble the gyro by spreading the sauce on the pita, add the sliced chicken, followed by tomato, cucumber, onion, and lettuce.
Roll up the pita and serve this delicious Greek chicken gyro immediately.
