Mediterranean Chicken Gyros Delightfully Juicy Dish

Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 Prise salt (to taste)
• 1 Prise pepper (to taste)
• 4 pieces pita bread or flatbreads
• 1 cup Tzatziki sauce
• 1 cucumber thinly sliced
• 1 tomato diced
• 0.5 red onion thinly sliced
• 1 Prise fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
2. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
5. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing them into strips.
6. Warm the pita bread on the grill for 1-2 minutes on each side until soft and pliable.
7. To assemble the gyros, place a generous amount of sliced chicken in the center of each pita. Top with Tzatziki sauce, sliced cucumbers, diced tomatoes, and red onions.
8. Garnish with fresh parsley and fold the pita over to hold the filling. Serve immediately.
