3

Seal the Instant Pot lid and set the valve to sealing.

5

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the tzatziki sauce by shredding or grating a cucumber.

6

Combine the shredded cucumber with yogurt, dill, kosher salt, and garlic powder in a bowl.

7

For cutting cherry tomatoes, place them on a cutting board, cover with another cutting board, press down gently, and slice through with a serrated knife.

8

After the chicken has finished cooking, let the pressure release naturally for 10 to 15 minutes before moving the valve to venting to release any remaining pressure.

Remove the lid from the Instant Pot and shred the chicken with a wooden spoon.

10

Assemble the gyros by placing tzatziki sauce, shredded chicken, diced tomatoes, and feta cheese in pita bread, then roll it up like a taco.
