Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality ingredients. Look for fresh, free-range chicken, crisp lettuce, and juicy tomatoes.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check if the chicken is cooked through by piercing it with a fork. The juices should run clear.
  • To make the tzatziki sauce, be sure to use Greek yogurt. This will give it a thick, creamy texture.
  • Store the leftover chicken gyro sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
