Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful marinade. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are fully coated, and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken thighs and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- While the chicken is cooking, combine Greek yogurt, crumbled feta cheese, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Stir until smooth, adjusting seasoning to taste.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Then slice the chicken into strips.
- Take warm pita bread and spread a layer of creamy feta tzatziki. Place sliced chicken on top along with cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. Roll the pita tightly and serve.

Notes
Let the chicken marinate overnight for deeper flavor. Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F (75°C). Assemble gyros just before serving to avoid sogginess.
