Ingredients:
For the Chicken:
1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
3 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 lemon, juiced
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Tzatziki Sauce:
1 cup Greek yogurt (full fat)
1 cucumber, grated and excess water squeezed out
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tsp dried dill)
1 tbsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Gyros:
Keto-friendly flatbreads or lettuce wraps

Instructions:
Marinate the Chicken:
In a large bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Add the chicken thighs and coat them thoroughly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for best flavor.
Cook the Chicken:
Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.
Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Make the Tzatziki Sauce:
In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.
Refrigerate until ready to use.
Assemble the Gyros:
Warm the keto-friendly flatbreads if using, or prepare large lettuce leaves as wraps.
Spread a generous amount of tzatziki sauce on each flatbread or lettuce leaf.
Top with sliced chicken, tomatoes, red onions, parsley, and feta cheese if using.
Roll up the flatbread or wrap the lettuce leaf around the fillings.
