Greek Chicken Gyro

Ingredients

• 2 chicken breasts + 2 chicken thighs (~2 to 2.5 lbs total)
• 3 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. 1
   Prep the Chicken: Trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts and thighs. Pat dry with a paper towel.
2. 2
   Make the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. 3
   Coat the Chicken: Add the chicken to the bowl and use your hands or tongs to coat it thoroughly in the marinade. Make sure every surface is covered.
4. 4
   Marinate: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best flavor.
5. 5
   Cook the Chicken: Preheat your grill, skillet, or oven to medium-high heat. If grilling or pan-searing: Cook for about 5–7 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. If baking: Preheat the oven to 400°F and bake for 20–25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
6. 6
   Rest & Slice: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Slice into thin strips for wraps or bowls.
