Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 4 whole wheat pita breads

  2. 2. Cook the Chicken: Preheat grill or oven to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or bake at 400°F until cooked through.
  3. 3. Prepare Tzatziki Sauce: Mix Greek yogurt with grated cucumber, minced garlic, chopped dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well combined.
  4. 4. Slice Vegetables: While chicken cooks, slice cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onions into bite-sized pieces.
  5. 5. Assemble Gyros: Warm pita bread briefly on the grill or stovetop; layer with sliced chicken, veggies, and tzatziki sauce. Wrap tightly and serve immediately.
