STEPS

Make the tzatziki: Combine yogurt, cucumber, garlic, olive oil, dill, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a blender. Blend until smooth, then cover and refrigerate until needed.

Whisk garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, vinegar, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Add chicken and toss until evenly coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Preheat the oven's broiler and line a baking sheet with foil.

Remove chicken from marinade and place onto the baking sheet. Broil until browned and no longer pink, 2-4 minutes per side.

Heat each pita in a skillet over medium heat until warm and soft, about 1 minute per side.

Assemble the gyros: Top each pita with chicken strips, tzatziki, lettuce, tomato, and onion.
