Creating these gyros is a simple process, perfect for a weeknight dinner or a weekend gathering. Here’s how you can bring a taste of Greece to your home:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for deeper flavor.
3. While the chicken marinates, prepare the tzatziki sauce. Combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, dill, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt in a bowl. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
4. Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.
5. Slice the chicken into strips and set aside.
6. Warm the pita bread on the grill for about 1 minute per side.
7. Assemble your gyros by placing the chicken strips, diced cucumber, red onion, and cherry tomatoes on the warm pita. Drizzle with tzatziki sauce and roll up.
