Pat the chicken dry and pound any thick parts of the chicken breasts to an even thickness.

In a bowl or resealable freezer bag, combine olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

Add chicken to the marinade and mix well to ensure chicken is coated equally.

Marinate chicken in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, for optimal flavor allow to marinate for 3-4 hours.

Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes on one side.

Using tongs, flip the chicken and cook for another 5-7 minutes until fully cooked and juices run clear.

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Warm the pita bread on the grill for about 30 seconds each side.

Assemble gyros by placing sliced chicken on the pita bread, and topping with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, thinly sliced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, and a generous drizzle of tzatziki sauce. Fold the pita and enjoy!
