# What You'll Need:

01 - 1 lb chicken breast, thinly sliced
02 - 3 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 2 tablespoons lemon juice
04 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
06 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
07 - Salt to taste

→ Tzatziki Sauce

09 - 1 cup Greek yogurt
10 - 1/2 cucumber, grated and drained
11 - 1 clove garlic, minced
12 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
13 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
14 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill or mint
15 - Salt to taste
16 - Pepper to taste

→ Gyros

17 - 4 pita bread rounds
18 - 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
19 - 1/2 cup sliced red onions
20 - 1/2 cup chopped cucumber
21 - 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
22 - 1/4 cup chopped parsley

# How to Make It:

01 - In a medium bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the thinly sliced chicken to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or marinate overnight for best results.
02 - In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated and drained cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and chopped dill or mint. Mix well and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
03 - Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
04 - Warm the pita bread rounds by placing them in a dry skillet or wrapping them in foil and heating them in the oven for a few minutes. Lay each pita flat, place cooked chicken in the center, and top it with chopped tomatoes, sliced red onions, chopped cucumber, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped parsley.
05 - Drizzle or spoon the prepared tzatziki sauce over the filling.
06 - Fold the pita around the filling to create a wrap. Serve immediately while warm.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Fresh mint can replace dill in the tzatziki sauce for a different flavor.
02 - Pair with a Greek salad or roasted potatoes for a complete meal.
