Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, whisk together yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, paprika, dill, and pepper. Add chicken and toss to coat.
- 3
Layer the chicken thighs in the prepared loaf pan, then push 3 to 4 bamboo skewers vertically through the layers to hold them together. Scrape any remaining yogurt mixture over the chicken. (If desired, cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours to overnight at this point.)
- 4
Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes, until the chicken is browned and tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center reads 170 degrees F (77 degrees C).
- 5
Let stand for 10 minutes.

Drain the liquid from the loaf pan. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board. Remove the skewers and slice against the grain.
- 7
Arrange the chicken, pitas, tzatziki, tomato, and red onion on a platter so people can assemble their own gyros.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
