    • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil

    • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano

    • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder

    • Salt and Pepper, to taste

    • 1 cup Greek Yogurt

    • 1 Cucumber, grated

    • 2 cloves Garlic, minced

    • 1 Tomato, sliced

    • 1/2 Red Onion, thinly sliced

    • 1/4 cup Feta Cheese, crumbled

    • 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley, chopped

Instructions

    1. In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken slices with olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes to infuse the holiday flavors.

    1. Preheat a grill pan over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken until golden brown and thoroughly cooked, approximately 5-6 minutes on each side, filling your kitchen with a festive aroma.

    1. For the tzatziki sauce, in a separate bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Set this aside for later, allowing the flavors to meld.

    1. Warm the pita breads slightly in the oven or on the grill pan for about a minute on each side to make them pliable and ready for wrapping.

    1. To assemble the gyros, spread a generous amount of tzatziki sauce on each pita bread. Layer on the chicken slices, tomato, red onion, crumbled feta, and parsley, creating a beautiful and festive presentation.

    1. Carefully roll the pita around the fillings and serve immediately while everything is still warm and delicious, perfect for sharing with loved ones around the holiday table.
