- Baking Dish
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp ground coriander
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin

Instructions
- Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, coriander, and cumin in a shallow baking dish. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then add to the marinade and turn to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through. Allow to rest for 5 minutes, then slice or chop the chicken.
- Warm the pita bread, then assemble the gyros by layering the chicken, tzatziki sauce, tomatoes, onions, and lettuce.
- For best results, make the tzatziki sauce ahead of time and let the flavors meld. You can also prepare the toppings in advance to make assembly quick and easy. Serve the chicken gyros immediately for maximum freshness and enjoyment.
