How to Make Chicken Gyros With Cucumber Salsa And Tsatsiki

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients: olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
  2. While the chicken marinates, prepare the cucumber salsa: finely dice the cucumber, red onion, and tomato. Combine in a bowl with the chopped cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Prepare the tzatziki sauce: combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber (squeeze out excess water), minced garlic, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  4. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers.
  5. Grill the chicken skewers for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly charred.
  6. Serve the grilled chicken gyros immediately in warm pita bread with the cucumber salsa and tzatziki sauce. Garnish with extra fresh herbs if desired.
