Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 pieces whole wheat pita bread
• 0.5 cup tzatziki sauce
• 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
• 1 large tomato, sliced
• 0.5 cup red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 0.5 large cucumber, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into thin strips and place in a bowl.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the chicken strips and mix to evenly coat. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Add the marinated chicken strips to the skillet and cook for 7-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is evenly browned and cooked through.

Step 6

Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or wrap in foil and heat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes.

Step 7

Spread a generous tablespoon of tzatziki sauce over each warmed pita bread.

Step 8

Layer the cooked chicken strips, chopped romaine lettuce, tomato slices, red onion, cucumber slices, and crumbled feta cheese evenly among the pitas.

Step 9

Fold each pita over the filling to form a wrap. Secure with a piece of parchment paper or foil, if desired, to hold it together while eating.

Step 10

Serve the gyros immediately, offering extra tzatziki sauce on the side.
