Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless chicken thighs
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 0.5 Cucumber
• 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh dill
• 4 Gluten-free flatbreads or wraps
• 0.5 Sliced red onion
• 1 cup Chopped tomatoes
• 4 Lettuce leaves

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken thighs into thin strips and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the chicken strips and mix well to coat the chicken thoroughly. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.

Step 4

Meanwhile, prepare the tzatziki sauce by grating the cucumber and squeezing out excess water. In a bowl, combine the grated cucumber with Greek yogurt, the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and chopped fresh dill. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken strips to the pan and cook for about 6-8 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly crispy.

Step 6

To assemble the gyros, warm the gluten-free flatbreads or wraps on a dry skillet for a minute on each side.

Step 7

Place a lettuce leaf on each flatbread, add some sliced red onion, chopped tomatoes, and a generous amount of the cooked chicken.

Step 8

Drizzle the prepared tzatziki sauce over the chicken and top with additional dill if desired.

Step 9

Roll up the flatbread or wrap tightly, securing with a toothpick if necessary, and serve immediately.
