Dinner: Lemon Chicken Gyros and Spanakopita dip

 Lemon Chicken Gyros and Tzatziki Sauce *via Can You Stay for Dinner - a new favorite site of mine!

the chicken packed a punch of lemon-y citrus flavor (i added extra lemon juice and cooked the chicken in all that deliciously saucy marinade!! it came out sooo moist) and the tzatziki with diced cucumber added the perfect condiment to the flatbread! i highly suggest you make this immediately!!!

makes 2

• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
  
• ¼ teaspoon pepper
  
• ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  
• 8 oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
  
  
• ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt (fat free!)
  
• 2 teaspoons minced fresh dill
  (added diced cucumber and S&P here!)
  

• 2 flatbreads
  
• 1 tomato, diced
  
• ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
  
• ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  
• minced fresh parsley, for serving
  

In a medium bowl, whisk together the oregano, thyme, garlic, pepper, lemon juice, and olive oil. Add the chicken, toss to coat, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Remove the chicken from the bowl and saute in a large frying pan for about 5 minutes per side, until the pieces are no longer pink in the center.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the yogurt and dill. Spread a thick smear of this homemade tzatziki sauce onto a warmed flatbread, followed by crispy shredded lettuce, tomatoes, feta cheese, and a sprinkling of fresh minced parsley.
