Quick Chicken Gyros

Warm pita wraps stuffed with lemony pan-fried chicken, crisp salad and garlicky yoghurt sauce. Fresh, fast and fun to assemble at the table.

Ingredients

  • 600 gram chicken thigh fillets
  • 2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1 piece lemon
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3/4 cup greek yoghurt
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 4 piece pita breads
  • 2 piece tomato
  • 1 piece lebanese cucumber
  • 2 cup iceberg lettuce, shredded

Instructions

  1. 1Slice the chicken into thin strips. Toss with the oregano, paprika, half the lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  2. 2Stir the yoghurt with the crushed garlic, the remaining lemon juice and a pinch of salt to make the sauce.
  3. 3Slice the tomatoes and cucumber, and shred the lettuce.
  4. 4Heat the remaining oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Cook the chicken for 7 minutes, stirring now and then, until browned at the edges and cooked through with no pink inside.
  5. 5Warm the pita breads in the toaster or a dry pan, 30 seconds a side.
  6. 6Spread each pita with garlic yoghurt, then pile on chicken, lettuce, tomato and cucumber.
  7. 7Roll up, wrap the bottom half in baking paper if you like, and serve.
