chicken thighs

🥗Healthier: chicken breast

💰Cheaper: pork

Chicken breast is leaner, while pork is often less expensive.

tzatziki sauce

🥗Healthier: yogurt with herbs

💰Cheaper: sour cream with dill

Yogurt with herbs offers a lighter option, while sour cream is more budget-friendly.

1

Marinate chicken thighs in a mixture of whole milk Greek yogurt, olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and oregano for four and a half hours.

2

Shred two cucumbers and strain them using cheesecloth to remove excess water.

3

Combine the strained cucumbers with Greek yogurt, lemon juice, salt, pepper, red wine vinegar, and olive oil to make tzatziki sauce.

4

Preheat the griddle for 5-7 minutes before cooking the chicken.

5

Remove chicken from marinade and place it on the griddle, allowing it to cook without moving it for a few minutes until it releases from the surface.

6

Season the chicken with additional salt and pepper while it cooks.

7

Flip the chicken pieces to get a char on both sides, cooking for a total of about 5-10 minutes until fully cooked.

8

Warm the pita bread on the griddle for a quick toast on each side.

9

Slice the cooked chicken into strips.

10

Assemble the gyros by placing chicken strips in the warmed pita bread and topping with the homemade tzatziki sauce and Greek salad.
