A delightful Chicken Gyros recipe filled with tender, spiced chicken, fresh veggies, and creamy tzatziki sauce wrapped in warm pita.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Pita bread
  • Tzatziki sauce
  • Sliced tomatoes
  • Sliced onions
  • Lettuce

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs and coat them evenly. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill or pan over medium-high heat.
  3. Grill the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken on the grill for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked.
  4. Slice the Chicken: Remove from heat and let it rest for a few moments before slicing into strips.
  5. Warm the Pita: Warm the pita bread on the grill for a few seconds on each side.
  6. Assemble the Gyros: Place sliced chicken on each warmed pita, top with tzatziki sauce, sliced tomatoes, onions, and lettuce.
  7. Fold and Serve: Fold the pita over the fillings and serve immediately.

Notes

Marinate the chicken overnight for deeper flavor. Using store-bought tzatziki is a great time-saver.
