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.
