• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 medium Cucumber, grated
• 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 medium Tomato, diced
• 6 large leaves Lettuce leaves, washed
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips for quicker cooking.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Add the chicken strips to the marinade and coat evenly. Marinate for at least 15 minutes while preparing other ingredients.

Step 4

For the yogurt sauce, grate the cucumber and squeeze out excess water. Mix with Greek yogurt, a pinch of salt, and fresh dill in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for about 10-12 minutes until browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

To assemble the gyros, lay a large lettuce leaf flat and fill with cooked chicken, a spoonful of yogurt sauce, a few slices of red onion, diced tomato, and sprinkle with paprika.

Step 7

Roll the lettuce around the filling or serve as open-faced wraps. Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb Chicken Gyros!
