Lemon Chicken Gyros with Tzatziki & Feta

Ingredients (makes 2 gyros):
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon pepper
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
2 teaspoons minced fresh dill
2 flatbreads
1 Roma tomato, thinly sliced
1/2 Cucumber, thinly sliced
½ Small red onion, thinly sliced
½ Cup crumbled feta cheese

In a medium bowl, whisk together the oregano, thyme, garlic, pepper, lemon juice, and olive oil. Add the chicken, toss to coat, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Remove the chicken from the bowl and saute in a large frying pan for about 5 minutes per side (or grill on George Forman Grill), until the pieces are no longer pink in the center.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the yogurt and dill. Spread the homemade tzatziki sauce onto a warmed flatbread, followed by chicken, sliced cucumber, onion, tomatoes, and feta cheese. Wrap in Aluminum foil and serve promptly.

  1. That looks good! At one of my fav restaurants in durham, I always get the "greek grilled cheese". Very similar to this.
