Easy Chicken Gyro Recipe

tzatziki sauce

🥗Healthier: yogurt sauce

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Yogurt sauce provides a similar creamy texture with fewer calories.

feta cheese

🥗Healthier: cottage cheese

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Cottage cheese is lower in fat while still offering creaminess.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, garlic, paprika, cumin, and oregano, mixing well.

Add the chicken thighs, mixing so that the meat is well covered in the yogurt marinade.

Season the chicken to taste with a good pinch of salt and pepper.

Marinate the thighs in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight.

Preheat the oven to 300 F.

Line a large baking tray with parchment paper and evenly space the chicken on the tray.

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, until it is cooked and browned on the outside.

Serve the chicken with warm pita or flatbreads and tzatziki, lettuce, cucumber, and baby tomatoes.
