Ingredients

• 500 grams Chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Oregano, dried
• 1 teaspoon Thyme, dried
• 1 teaspoon Paprika, smoked
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 200 grams Greek yogurt, gluten-free
• 0.5 cup Cucumber, finely diced
• 1 tablespoon Dill, fresh, chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt (for tzatziki)
• 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 medium Tomato, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Begin by marinating the chicken. In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Slice the chicken breast into thin strips. Add the chicken to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or ideally overnight for best flavor.

Step 3

Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for approximately 10 minutes, turning occasionally until cooked through and browned.

Step 4

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the tzatziki sauce. In a small bowl, combine the gluten-free Greek yogurt, diced cucumber, fresh dill, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined and set aside.

Step 5

Warm the gluten-free pita bread in a clean, hot skillet or in the oven for a few minutes or until softened.

Step 6

Assemble the gyros by placing a layer of lettuce on each pita, followed by slices of tomato and red onion.

Step 7

Add the cooked chicken on top, and drizzle with the prepared tzatziki sauce.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, gluten-free gyros pita!
