Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 medium cucumber
- 1 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dill
- 0.5 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 small red onion
- 4 leaves romaine lettuce
- 4 pieces Keto-friendly flatbread
- 1 medium tomato
Instructions
1. Begin by marinating the chicken: In a bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or overnight for more flavor.
2. Prepare the tzatziki sauce: Peel the cucumber and grate it using a box grater. Squeeze out any excess moisture using a cheesecloth or clean kitchen towel.
3. In a medium bowl, combine the grated cucumber, Greek yogurt, remaining olive oil, lemon zest, dill, salt, and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.
4. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then slice it thinly.
5. Slice the tomato and red onion thinly. Rinse the romaine lettuce leaves and pat them dry.
6. To assemble the gyros: lay a keto-friendly flatbread on a clean surface, place a leaf of romaine lettuce, add a few slices of the grilled chicken, sliced tomato, and red onion.
7. Drizzle with the prepared tzatziki sauce and fold the flatbread to enclose the filling.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Keto Chicken Gyro!
