Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 6 pieces Gluten-free pita bread
- 1 Cucumber, sliced

Instructions
Begin by marinating the chicken. In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove from the grill and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
To assemble the gyros, warm the gluten-free pitas as per package instructions. Lay the sliced grilled chicken onto each pita.
Top with sliced cucumber, tomato, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese. Drizzle with tzatziki sauce.
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top and serve immediately.
