This chicken take on Greek street-food gyros is served without pita for a low-carb meal. Marinate chicken strips with lemon and thyme, grill them, and serve with yogurt sauce. The leftovers can also be eaten cold as a late-night snack.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Mix the marinade and coat the chicken

10 min

Mix the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic cloves, thyme, ground red pepper, salt, and black pepper. Coat the chicken strips thoroughly.

2

Marinate the chicken

60 min

Cover the chicken and marinate it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour so the thyme and lemon can flavor the meat.

3

Grill the skewers

12 min

Thread the chicken strips onto skewers and grill for 12 minutes, turning them, until lightly browned on the outside and white inside.

4

Make the sauce

5 min

Mix the yogurt with the grated cucumber and dill to make the yogurt sauce.

5

Serve

3 min

Plate the chicken skewers without pita and serve hot with the yogurt sauce. Save any leftovers to eat cold as a late-night snack.

Reminder

Do not put the chicken on the grill without marinating it for at least 1 hour; a shorter marinade will not let the thyme and lemon flavor the meat. Contains milk and dairy (yogurt).

İlk seferinde marineyi 20 dakikayla geçiştirdim, tavuk lezzetsiz kaldı. Tarifteki 1 saati uyguladığım ikinci denemede kekik ve limon gerçekten etin içine işledi, aradaki fark büyüktü.
