20 Minute Chicken Gyro Recipe with Tzatziki Sauce


the same, except the use of boneless skinless chicken thigh meat. Of course, thigh meat isn’t as “healthy” as chicken tenders, but it is juicier. So I’ll leave this decision up to you. The tzatziki is a key play

Ingredients
For the Marinade + Chicken
1 lemon juiced
1 cup plain yogurt
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp paprika
1.5 pounds chicken tenders
1 tbsp olive oil
For the Tzatziki Sauce
1/2 cucumber - seeded with skin removed
1 cup plain Greek yogurt - full-fat recommended
3 cloves garlic - minced
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 tsp fresh dill - minced
salt + pepper - to taste
For the Gyros
4 pita or flat bread
2 tomatoes - quartered or sliced
1/4 red onion - thinly sliced

Instructions
In a large bowl mix together the lemon juice, plain Greek yogurt, salt, oregano, and paprika. Add the chicken tenders to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover the chicken tenders and transfer the bowl to the refrigerator to marinate for at least 30 minutes to overnight.
