Method:
Marinate the Chicken:
- In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Add the thinly sliced chicken breast to the marinade, making sure each piece is well coated.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours to allow the flavors to develop.
Make the Tzatziki Sauce:
- In another bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber (make sure to squeeze out excess water), minced garlic, chopped dill, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Stir well to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Cook the Chicken:
- Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and nicely browned.
- Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
Prepare the Gyros:
- Warm the pita bread or flatbreads briefly in the oven or on the grill until just heated through.
- Spread a generous amount of tzatziki sauce on each pita bread.
- Arrange sliced chicken, tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, lettuce or herbs, and any optional toppings (like Kalamata olives or crumbled feta cheese) on top of the tzatziki sauce.
Wrap and Serve:
- Fold the sides of the pita bread over the fillings to form a wrap or roll.
- Secure with toothpicks if needed and serve immediately.
