Ingredients
Scale
- 500g chicken breast, sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 4 pita breads

- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cucumber, grated and drained
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp minced garlic
Instructions
- Mix chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Marinate for 20 minutes.
- Heat a pan over medium heat. Cook chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked.
- For the tzatziki, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, minced garlic, and feta cheese. Mix well.
- Warm the pita breads in a dry pan for 30 seconds each.
- Assemble the gyros by placing chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, and red onions on each pita. Top with feta tzatziki.
