Total time: 1 h 15 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Greek
Ingredients: 1/2 cup Greek yogurt; 3 cloves garlic, minced; 1 tbsp olive oil; 1 tbsp red wine vinegar; 1 tbsp lemon juice; 1 tbsp dried oregano; 1 tsp salt; 1/2 tsp black pepper; 1/2 tsp paprika; 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs; 4 pita breads, for serving; 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered; 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced; 1/4 cup tzatziki sauce; 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

1

In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, minced garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to create the marinade.

2

Place the chicken thighs in a large zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and massage to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.

3

Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.

4

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

5

Line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Layer the marinated chicken thighs flat inside the pan, pressing them down firmly to create a compact loaf.

6

Bake for 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through.

7

Remove the loaf pan from the oven and let the chicken rest in the pan for 10 minutes.

8

Carefully lift the chicken loaf out of the pan using the parchment paper. Place it on a cutting board and drain any excess juices.

9

Using a sharp knife, slice the chicken loaf thinly, similar to traditional gyro meat.

10

Assemble your gyros by placing the sliced chicken on warm pita bread. Top with tomatoes, red onion, tzatziki sauce, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
