Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into strips
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Wraps:

  • 4 large pita breads or flatbreads
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup sliced cucumber
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion

For the Creamy Garlic Feta Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, fresh lemon juice, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken strips and toss to coat well. Cover and let marinate for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked through and has a nice, light brown sear.
  3. Prepare the Creamy Garlic Feta Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
  4. Warm the Pita Breads: Heat the pita breads in a dry skillet or in the oven for 1 to 2 minutes until they are warm and pliable, making them easier to fold.
  5. Assemble the Gyro Wraps: Spread a generous amount of the creamy garlic feta sauce onto each warm pita. Top with cooked chicken strips, shredded lettuce, sliced cucumber, diced tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion.
  6. Serve: Fold the wraps tightly and serve immediately while warm to enjoy the blend of fresh and savory flavors.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken overnight in the refrigerator.
  • You can substitute chicken breasts if preferred, adjusting cooking time as needed.
  • To make the wraps gluten-free, use gluten-free pita or flatbreads.
  • Adding fresh herbs like parsley or dill can enhance the flavor.
  • The sauce can be prepared ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
