1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon cumin
4 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon cinnamon
pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons tahini paste
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt, to taste
2 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, chopped into 1-inch (2-cm) cubes
2 cups greek yogurt
1 cup english cucumber, grated, salted, and drained
1 lemon, zested
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup fresh dill, chopped
pepper, to taste
salt, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lemon, juiced
slider bun, or dinner roll
½ cup tomato, diced
½ cup red onion, chopped
¼ cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
salt, to taste
wooden skewer

Steps:

  • Soak the wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, paprika, oregano, coriander, cumin, garlic, cayenne, cinnamon, pepper, tahini, olive oil, and salt.
  • Add the chicken and stir to coat completely in the sauce. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
  • Make the tzatziki: in a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, cucumber, lemon zest, garlic, dill, pepper, salt, olive oil, and lemon juice. Stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Thread 3-5 pieces of chicken onto each wooden skewer until loosely filled, leaving at least an inch (2 cm) of space on either end of the skewers. Place the skewers on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Slice the dinner rolls in half. Place the bottom half on a greased baking sheet. Sprinkle with diced tomatoes and chopped red onion.
  • Stick the par-cooked chicken skewers into the bottom buns, spacing evenly. Place the top buns over the skewers and press down.
  • Combine the olive oil, garlic, parsley, and salt in a small bowl and brush on the top buns.
  • Bake the buns and the chicken for 10 more minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the bread is toasted.
  • Place the gyro sliders on a large platter and serve with tzatziki.
  • Enjoy!
