Delicious Grilled BBQ Chicken Gyros

These Grilled BBQ Chicken Gyros feature juicy grilled chicken brushed with BBQ sauce, served in warm pita bread alongside fresh veggies and a homemade yogurt sauce. The recipe takes about 30 minutes and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup BBQ sauce, plus extra for serving
4 pita breads
1 cup lettuce, shredded
1 medium tomato, diced
1/2 cucumber, sliced
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken breasts with your BBQ sauce, making sure they are well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and set aside.

Assemble the Gyros: Slice the grilled chicken into strips. Place some lettuce, diced tomato, cucumber slices, and red onion on each pita bread. Add the grilled chicken on top.
Drizzle the yogurt sauce over the chicken-filled pitas and add extra BBQ sauce if desired. Fold the pitas to enclose the fillings.
Serve: Enjoy your Grilled BBQ Chicken Gyros immediately, either as is or with side dishes like chips or a salad.
