Creating Mediterranean Chicken Gyros with Creamy Feta Tzatziki is straightforward, thanks to these simple steps:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and coat well. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
2. Prepare the Tzatziki: In a separate bowl, combine Greek yogurt, crumbled feta, minced garlic, dill, and lemon juice. Mix well and season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
3. Cook the Chicken: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.
4. Slice the Chicken: After resting, slice the chicken into thin strips for easy wrapping.
5. Assemble the Gyros: Lay out pita or flatbreads. Add a generous amount of lettuce, sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cucumber.
6. Add the Tzatziki: Drizzle with Creamy Feta Tzatziki sauce, generously covering the filling.
7. Wrap and Serve: Fold the pita over the filling, wrap it up, and serve immediately for the best taste!
