Mediterranean Chicken Gyros with Creamy Feta Tzatziki
Ingredients:

For the Chicken Marinade:

1 lb (450 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs

2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil

2 tbsp (30 ml) lemon juice

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp (2 g) dried oregano

½ tsp (2 g) smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Creamy Feta Tzatziki:

½ cup (120 g) Greek yogurt

¼ cup (40 g) crumbled feta cheese

½ cucumber, finely grated and drained

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil

1 tsp (5 ml) lemon juice

Salt and pepper, to taste

For Assembly:

4 pita breads or flatbreads

½ cup (75 g) cherry tomatoes, halved

¼ cup (30 g) sliced red onion

¼ cup (30 g) cucumber slices

Fresh dill or parsley, for garnish

Directions:

In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours).

Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice.

In a separate bowl, combine Greek yogurt, feta, grated cucumber, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy and well combined.

Warm the pita breads in a dry skillet or oven.

Assemble the gyros by layering sliced chicken, tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, and a generous spoonful of feta tzatziki.

Garnish with fresh dill or parsley and serve immediately.
