Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup cucumber, grated and squeezed dry
• 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon dill, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon salt for tzatziki
• 1 clove garlic clove, minced for tzatziki
• 4 pieces keto flatbreads or low-carb tortillas
• 0.5 cup red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup tomato, diced
• 1 cup lettuce leaves, shredded

Directions

Step 1

Begin by marinating the chicken. In a medium mixing bowl, combine olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 4 hours.

Step 3

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the tzatziki sauce. In a small bowl, mix the grated cucumber, Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, dill, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and the minced garlic clove. Stir well until combined, then refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 4

Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through.

Step 6

Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

Step 7

To assemble the gyros, take one keto flatbread or low-carb tortilla and layer it with sliced chicken, a spoonful of tzatziki sauce, red onion slices, diced tomato, and shredded lettuce.

Step 8

Fold the flatbread to enclose the fillings and repeat for the remaining servings.

Step 9

Serve immediately with additional tzatziki sauce on the side, if desired.
