- 500 grams Chicken breast

- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Oregano, dried
- 1 teaspoon Thyme, dried
- 1 teaspoon Paprika, smoked
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 200 grams Greek yogurt, gluten-free
- 0.5 cup Cucumber, finely diced

Instructions
Begin by marinating the chicken. In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips. Add the chicken to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or ideally overnight for best flavor.
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for approximately 10 minutes, turning occasionally until cooked through and browned.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the tzatziki sauce. In a small bowl, combine the gluten-free Greek yogurt, diced cucumber, fresh dill, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined and set aside.
Warm the gluten-free pita bread in a clean, hot skillet or in the oven for a few minutes or until softened.
Assemble the gyros by placing a layer of lettuce on each pita, followed by slices of tomato and red onion.
Add the cooked chicken on top, and drizzle with the prepared tzatziki sauce.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, gluten-free gyros pita!
