Zubereitung von Chicken Souvlaki Gyro Style
- **Make the Balsamic Marinade:** In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup balsamic vinaigrette, 2 tablespoons lemon juice (from 1/2 lemon), 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- **Marinate the Chicken:** Place 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour marinade over chicken, seal, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight for maximum flavor).
- **Prep the Cucumber:** Toss 1 medium cucumber, shredded, with 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Let sit for 5 minutes, then squeeze out excess water.
- **Make the Tzatziki Sauce:** In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup sour cream, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, and 1 teaspoon Greek seasoning. Season to taste with kosher salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- **Preheat & Grill Chicken:** Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat. Remove chicken from marinade (discard marinade). Grill chicken for 8-10 minutes per side, or until juices run clear and chicken is cooked through.
- **Rest & Slice:** Remove chicken from grill and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
- **Warm the Pita:** Place pita rounds on the grill and cook for about 2 minutes per side, or until warm and slightly charred, turning frequently to avoid burning.
- **Assemble the Gyros:** Arrange warm pita bread, sliced chicken, lettuce, thinly sliced red onion, tomato slices, Kalamata olives, and pepperoncini on a serving platter. Serve with tzatziki sauce and crumbled feta cheese in separate bowls.
- **Serve & Enjoy:** Let guests build their own gyros by stuffing pita pockets with chicken and their favorite toppings.
