Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 medium Cucumber, grated
- 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 medium Tomato, diced
- 6 large leaves Lettuce leaves, washed
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped

Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips for quicker cooking.
In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade and coat evenly. Marinate for at least 15 minutes while preparing other ingredients.
For the yogurt sauce, grate the cucumber and squeeze out excess water. Mix with Greek yogurt, a pinch of salt, and fresh dill in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for about 10-12 minutes until browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally.
To assemble the gyros, lay a large lettuce leaf flat and fill with cooked chicken, a spoonful of yogurt sauce, a few slices of red onion, diced tomato, and sprinkle with paprika.
Roll the lettuce around the filling or serve as open-faced wraps. Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb Chicken Gyros!
