Instructions
Tzatziki Sauce
- Combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, grated garlic, olive oil, dill, salt, and pepper. Stir in lemon juice. Taste and adjust flavors as needed. Cover and place in the fridge for a few hours or overnight (longer the better!).
Cucumber Tomato Salad
- Before you cook the chicken, make the cucumber salad first. Combine diced cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, and parsley in a small bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover and place in the fridge.
Mediterranean Chicken
- Combine yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, and oregano in a medium bowl. Add chicken and stir until evenly coated. Cover, place in the fridge, and marinate for at least four hours or overnight. Again, make this the day ahead!
- Cooking the chicken: Heat a cast-iron grill pan or skillet to medium-high heat. Sprinkle with canola or vegetable oil. Add chicken and cook for 5 minutes on each side until cooked through. Chicken should have a dark golden sear on each side, too. Remove from the pan and loosely cover with aluminum foil to let the chicken rest.
Gyro Assembly
- Turn the oven on according to the directions on the bag of french fries. Cook the french fries as described. Once done, remove fries from the oven, turn the oven off and place flatbread on the rack until warmed through. Remove flatbread to plates. Place 1/2 cup of chicken down the middle of each flatbread. Scoop tzatziki over the chicken, then cucumber salad, and top off with fries. Wrap up and dig in!
