Chicken gyros

Ingredients

8 Chicken Thigh Fillets

1 tbsp Olive Oil

¼ head of Iceberg Lettuce, shredded

½ Red Onion, thinly sliced

2 Salad Tomatoes, sliced

4 White Folded Flat Bread

Marinade

2 Garlic Cloves, finely chopped

30ml Lemon Juice

30ml Olive Oil

1 tbsp Freshly Chopped Mint

2 tsp Dried Oregano

1 tsp Ground Cumin

1 tsp Paprika

½ tsp Ground Cinnamon

Tzatziki

200g Greek Style Yogurt

½ Cucumber

1 Garlic Clove

15ml Lemon Juice

15ml Olive Oil

¼ tsp Salt

¼ tsp Pepper

¼ tsp Paprika

Method

Place all the ingredients for the marinade into a bowl, add the chicken thighs then leave to marinate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight.

Prepare the tzatziki by removing the seeds from the cucumber, then grating.

Combine the grated cucumber with all the other ingredients, then leave in the fridge until needed.

Heat a heavy-bottomed pan, add the tablespoon of oil, then cook the chicken thighs for 8-10 minutes on each side until nicely browned/charred on the outside and cooked through.

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the salad and heat the pitta bread in a hot pan for 1 minute on each side.
