Instructions

_{Step 1/4}

Marinate Chicken

In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, paprika, coriander, salt, and black pepper. Add the diced chicken and coat them well with the marinade. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator, or for best results, marinate for a few hours or overnight.

_{Step 2/4}

Cook Chicken

Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat with some olive oil. Add the marinated chicken and cook for about 4-6 minutes per side, until they are cooked through and have a nice char. Remove from heat and set aside.

_{Step 3/4}

Warm Pita Bread and Assemble Gyro

Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or in the oven for a few minutes until soft and pliable. Place the warm pita bread on a plate. Spread tzatziki sauce down the center of the pita. Add the cooked chicken strips on top. Arrange the sliced tomato, red onion, and cucumber over the chicken.
