Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 count Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 count Gluten-free pita breads
• 1 count Cucumber, sliced
• 1 count Tomato, sliced
• 0.5 count Red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup Tzatziki sauce
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

Step 2

Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and ensure they are well coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 3

Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Cook on the grill or skillet for about 5-6 minutes per side or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Step 5

Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

Step 6

Warm the gluten-free pita breads on the grill or in a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes until pliable.

Step 7

Assemble the gyros by placing slices of chicken onto each pita. Top with sliced cucumber, tomato, red onion, and a dollop of tzatziki sauce.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh dill before serving.

Step 9

Wrap up the gyros and enjoy your gluten-free meal!
