Ingredients:

For the Tzatziki:

For the Salad:

To Serve:

Instructions:

Place the Marinade ingredients in a ziplock bag and massage to mix. Add the chicken into the bag and massage to cover all the chicken in the marinade. Marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably 3 hours, ideally 12 hours and no longer than 24 hours.

Make the Tzatziki:

Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise. Use a teaspoon to scrape the watery seeds out. Coarsely grate the cucumber using a box grater. Then wrap in paper towels or a tea towel and squeeze to remove excess liquid.
Place cucumber in a bowl. Add remaining ingredients then mix to combine. Set aside for at least 20 minutes for the flavours to meld.

Make the salad:

Cook Chicken:

Brush the outdoor grill with oil, then preheat on medium high. Remove chicken from Marinade. Cook the chicken for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the grill onto a plate. Cover loosely with foil and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Assemble Gyros:

If your chicken thighs are large, you may need to cut them.
Get a pita bread or flatbread (preferably warmed) and place it on a piece of parchment paper (or you could use foil). Place some salad down the middle of the bread, then top with chicken and Tzatziki.
Roll the wrap up, enclosing it with the parchment paper. Twist the end with the excess parchment paper to secure it. Serve immedietly! *this recipe makes a generous amount of Tzatziki. But it is better to have too much than not enough!
