Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breast
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 medium Red onion
• 1 head Romaine lettuce
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 2 medium Tomatoes
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
• 1 medium Avocado

Directions

Step 1

Begin by marinating the chicken. In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring that they are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for more intense flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. While heating, thinly slice the red onion, cucumber, and tomatoes. Chop the romaine lettuce and parsley.

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill each piece for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.

Step 5

While the chicken is cooking, slice the avocado and set aside.

Step 6

Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

Step 7

To assemble the Paleo Gyro Chicken, start by placing a bed of chopped romaine lettuce on each serving plate. Top with slices of red onion, cucumber, tomatoes, and avocado.

Step 8

Lay the grilled chicken strips over the vegetables and sprinkle with fresh parsley.

Step 9

Serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious and healthy Paleo Gyro Chicken!
