- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

SPECIAL EQUIPMENT
- wooden skewer
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
- 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.
- 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!
