- 18Add dill, mint, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and minced garlic to the mixture.
- 19Mix well until all ingredients are combined and the sauce is smooth.
- 20Check on the chicken; it should be golden brown and cooked through. Baste it with the accumulated juices.
- 21Carefully slice the cooked chicken from the stack.

Tips
- Don’t skip the mustard. It gives the chicken a delicious tang and helps the seasonings to stick.
- Highly recommend making this on a Traeger grill for an incredible wood-fired flavor and perfectly even cooking.
- Serve the gyros as a platter with some salad, rice and potatoes or wrap it in a fresh flatbread with homemade tzatziki, tomato, onion and a dusting of smoked paprika.
- Perfect for a weekend get-together or meal prep for the week.
