Instructions
Prepare the Grilled Chicken
1. Marinate the chicken.
Slice the chicken into strips or evenly sized pieces. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, Igotchu Greek Seasoning, and Garlic Lovers. Add the chicken, toss to coat, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
2. Grill the chicken.
Preheat a lightly oiled griddle over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for approximately 4–6 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F. Let rest for 5 minutes.
Prepare the Homemade Tzatziki Sauce
3. Mix the ingredients.
In a medium bowl, combine sour cream and Greek yogurt. Stir in the finely chopped cucumber, fresh dill, crumbled feta cheese, Igotchu Garlic Lovers, Himalayan Salt & Pepper, and Greek Seasoning. Mix until well combined.
4. Chill the sauce.
Cover and refrigerate for 15–30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop. For a thicker sauce, remove excess moisture from the chopped cucumber before mixing.
Assemble the Chicken Gyros
5. Prepare the toppings.
Slice the cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onion. Warm the pita breads on the griddle for approximately 30–60 seconds per side until soft and lightly toasted.
6. Build the gyros.
Spread a generous spoonful of homemade tzatziki sauce onto each warm pita. Add the grilled chicken, cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions.
7. Serve and enjoy!
Top with additional tzatziki sauce, crumbled feta, or fresh dill if desired. Fold the pita around the filling and serve immediately!
