INGREDIENTS
  For the chicken marinade:

• 1 lb. chicken breast sliced into ½-inch strips
• 3 tbsp. olive oil
• 1 tbsp. lemon juice
• 1 tbsp. red wine vinegar
• 1 tsp. paprika
• 1 tsp. dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. pepper

For the Tzatziki Sauce:

• 1 medium cucumber
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tbsp. lemon juice
• 2 tbsp. chopped fresh dill
• 1 medium clove garlic pressed or minced
• ¼ teaspoon salt

For the Gyro:

• Pita bread
• Shredded iceberg lettuce
• Sliced tomatoes
• Sliced cucumbers
• Sliced onion
• Feta cheese

INSTRUCTIONS

1. 
   
2. Marinate the chicken. Place the chicken in a medium bowl and add all of the marinade ingredients. Mix it well, cover with plastic wrap, and marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
3. Make the tzatziki. Grate the cucumber and squeeze the excess liquid out with your hands. Discard the liquid. Place the cucumber in a mixing bowl with the rest of the tzatziki ingredients and mix well.
4. Cook the chicken. Heat a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken slices and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until cooked through. Slice the chicken into thin strips.
5. Make the Gyro! Warm the pita bread (in the oven or microwave). Add a bit of shredded lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onion, and chicken on top. Drizzle with a generous amount of tzatziki and feta cheese, if desired. Fold the gyro* in half and serve.
