Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces whole wheat pita bread
- 0.5 cup tzatziki sauce
- 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- 0.5 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 0.5 large cucumber, sliced
Instructions
Cut the chicken breast into thin strips and place in a bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the marinade over the chicken strips and mix to evenly coat. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated chicken strips to the skillet and cook for 7-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is evenly browned and cooked through.
Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or wrap in foil and heat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes.
Spread a generous tablespoon of tzatziki sauce over each warmed pita bread.
Layer the cooked chicken strips, chopped romaine lettuce, tomato slices, red onion, cucumber slices, and crumbled feta cheese evenly among the pitas.
Fold each pita over the filling to form a wrap. Secure with a piece of parchment paper or foil, if desired, to hold it together while eating.
Serve the gyros immediately, offering extra tzatziki sauce on the side.
