lightbulb_outline Tips
- For extra flavor, you can add a sprinkle of dried oregano to the chicken marinade.
- If you don't have a grill or grill pan, you can also cook the chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Feel free to customize your gyros with additional toppings like olives, feta cheese, or hot sauce.
- If you're short on time, you can use store-bought tzatziki sauce instead of making your own.
