Instructions
Pan-sear the herb crusted chicken

- Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a skillet pan over medium high heat.
- Cook the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through (cooking time depends on size of chicken).
- Remove the chicken onto a plate. Cover loosely with foil and allow to rest for 5 minutes before cutting into bite size pieces and serving.
Make the tzatziki sauce
- Cut the dill pickle slices into finely chopped pieces.
- Placed finely chopped dill pickles into a bowl. Add remaining ingredients then mix to combine. Set aside for at least 10 minutes for the flavors to blend.
cucumber salad
- Combine all cucumber salad ingredients in a bowl.
Assemble gyros
- Cut the chicken into bite size pieces, if preferred.
- Warm pita or flatbread and place it on a piece of parchment paper. Place some salad down the middle of the bread, then top with chicken and tzatziki.
- Roll the wrap up, enclosing it with the parchment paper. Twist the end with the excess parchment paper to secure it and cut if desired.
