Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 medium cucumber, grated
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 whole wheat pita breads

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper. Coat chicken breasts in the marinade and let sit for at least 1 hour or overnight for maximum flavor.
  2. Preheat grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Allow to rest before slicing.
  3. Grate cucumber and squeeze out excess moisture. Mix with additional Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and optional chopped dill to create tzatziki sauce.
  4. Warm pita bread on the grill or skillet until soft.
  5. Assemble gyros by placing sliced chicken on pita bread and drizzling with tzatziki sauce. Add optional toppings like lettuce or tomatoes.
