Method
- Mix together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, Greek yogurt, and a pinch of salt to form a smooth dough. Place it in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
- Divide the dough into handfuls and sprinkle some flour on the counter. Roll out thin flatbreads (lefse). Heat a dry skillet and cook the flatbreads on both sides until they get a golden color. Consider washing the pan between each flatbread to avoid a burnt taste from the flour.
- Prepare tzatziki. In a bowl, combine grated cucumber, finely chopped garlic, yogurt, sriracha (optional), and the juice of the lemon. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook the pommes frites as instructed on the packaging or use the recipe for Crispy Pommes Frites here in Sulten.
- Season the chicken breasts well with Provence seasoning. Heat a skillet over high heat with oil and add the chicken. Sear on both sides and add a generous knob of butter. Reduce the heat slightly and baste the chicken with the butter until fully cooked. Let the chicken rest on a cutting board.
- Dice tomatoes and cucumber, slice the red onion, and portion the feta cheese.
- Assemble the Gyros by spreading tzatziki on the flatbread, cutting the chicken into strips, and placing the chicken, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, pommes frites, and feta cheese on the flatbread. Season with additional Provence seasoning and drizzle with olive oil. Serve immediately.
