    Preparation Steps

    1

    Trim the chicken thigh fillets and slice them into thin strips. In a bowl, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, grated garlic, olive oil, and gyro seasoning mix. Add the chicken to the marinade and let it marinate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.

    2

    Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and cook the marinated chicken strips until golden brown and cooked through. Set aside to rest.

    3

    While the chicken is cooking, prepare the vegetables: thinly slice the tomatoes, cucumbers, and onion. Shred the red cabbage. Sprinkle the vegetables with a pinch of salt and pepper.

    4

    Warm the pita bread in a skillet or oven until soft and pliable.

    5

    Fill each pita bread with the cooked chicken strips, fresh vegetables, and a dollop of yogurt sauce or tzatziki. Garnish with fresh parsley.
