How to make Chicken Gyros:

Make Tzatziki Sauce: Combine all tzatziki ingredients in a small bowl then refrigerate (can be made 1-2 days ahead). If you really want a 10/10 meal though, I strongly recommend making your own pitas. The dough is so quick to make, they only rise for 30 minutes and they are absolutely worth the extra time! Mix chicken marinade ingredients and pour over chicken. Marinate for at least 1-4 hours. Grill Chicken: Heat grill to medium heat, then lift chicken from marinade, letting it drip for a few seconds before placing on hot grill. Cook on both sides for a few minutes, flipping once, until cooked through. Rest on a plate then chop into bite-size pieces. Assemble: Toast or warm your pitas then add chicken, lettuce, tomato, red onion, cucumber, and drizzle with homemade tzatziki sauce.

Make Ahead and Freezing Instructions:

To Make Ahead: The tzatziki sauce and marinade can be mixed and stored in separate airtight containers for up to 2-3 days in advance. Chop the onion, cucumber, tomato and romaine a few hours in advance to make dinner go even quicker. To Freeze: Place raw chicken (preferred method) in marinade in an airtight freezer safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, then cook according to recipe. Leftover cooked chicken can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
