Chicken Souvlaki Marinade

  • Dice chicken into one-inch cubes. Place chicken in large gallon sized bag or large bowl and add all marinade ingredients to bag/bowl. Toss chicken to coat and refrigerate for a minimum 15 minutes or overnight.
  • Once chicken is marinated, thread the chicken onto your skewers. Using a grill pan over medium high heat place skewers down turning every couple minutes allowing the chicken to cook completely and develop nice color and a slight char. This will take about 10-12 minutes. You can also skip the skewers and just pan sear the chicken.
  • Once chicken is cooked, remove from grill and allow chicken to rest for 5 minutes.

Tzatziki sauce

  • Take 1 large cucumber and grate it by hand until you have a little more than 1 cup. Squeeze out as much liquid as you can and place in a bowl.
  • To the bowl with cucumber add remaining Tzatziki sauce ingredients. Give it a stir, and place in refrigerator until ready to use.

Assemble Gyros

  • Grab your gyro and add warm chicken, cucumbers, red onion, tomato, feta, and dill. Slather with a healthy portion of fresh tzatziki wrap or fold your gyro and enjoy!
