Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 3 units garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 pieces romaine lettuce leaves
• 1 unit English cucumber, thinly sliced
• 0.5 unit red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
• 0.5 cup Whole30 compliant mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons coconut milk
• 1 clove fresh garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Step 2

Place chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag, pour the marinade over the chicken, seal the bag, and ensure the chicken is well coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for best results.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

Step 4

Remove grilled chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.

Step 5

While the chicken is resting, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, combine the Whole30 compliant mayonnaise, coconut milk, minced fresh garlic, chopped dill, and fresh lemon juice. Stir until well mixed.

Step 6

To assemble the gyros, lay out the romaine lettuce leaves. Arrange sliced chicken, cucumber, red onion, and cherry tomatoes on top.

Step 7

Drizzle with the prepared sauce, then fold or wrap the lettuce leaf to encase the filling.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Chicken Gyros.
