# How to Make It:
01 - Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add chicken breasts, turning to coat evenly. Marinate for 15 minutes up to 1 hour for maximum flavor absorption.
02 - Combine Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, grated drained cucumber, minced garlic, chopped dill, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Mix thoroughly and refrigerate until serving.
03 - Preheat grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken 5-6 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F and juices run clear. Rest 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
04 - Heat dry skillet or oven to warm flatbreads 1-2 minutes until soft and pliable.
05 - Spread generous layer of tzatziki over each flatbread. Layer spinach or arugula, sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and feta. Drizzle with additional tzatziki and serve immediately.
# Expert Hints:
01 -
- Everything you love about a Greek gyro but easier and faster to make at home
- The tzatziki sauce alone is worth keeping this recipe in your weekly rotation
02 -
- Squeeze as much liquid as possible from the grated cucumber or your tzatziki will be watery within an hour
- Let the chicken rest before slicing, cutting too early lets all those juices run onto your cutting board instead of staying in the meat
03 -
- Grill extra chicken on Sunday and you'll have Tuesday's dinner almost ready to go
- Store leftover tzatziki in a glass container, plastic absorbs the garlic flavor
