Chicken Gyros Ingredients

Chicken breasts soak in a homemade marinade using Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, garlic paste, oregano, paprika powder, salt, and pepper. Pick up Greek-style pita bread to serve the chicken, romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.

Once the Chicken Gyros are assembled, Tzatziki Sauce is drizzled over the top to finish them off!

How To Make Chicken Gyros

1. Mix together the yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, garlic paste, oregano, paprika powder, salt, and pepper. Pour it over the chicken and stir. Then cover the container and put it in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

2. Combine the ingredients for the Tzatziki Sauce and set aside.

3. Strain the chicken from the marinade and add to a skillet over medium heat. Cook until each side is light and golden before removing it to let it rest before slicing into long strips.

4. Toast the pitas while the chicken is cooking. Then layer them with romaine lettuce, sliced tomatoes, cucumber, onion, and sliced chicken. Then drizzle Tzatziki over the chicken and serve!

Prep Chicken Gyros Ahead Of Time!

You can let the chicken marinate for up to 8 hours before cooking it off and pre-cut the veggies! You can also make the Tzatziki sauce up to a day or two ahead of time for easier meal prep.

Since the chicken is good for up to 4 days after it’s cooked, you could always cook it the day before as well. If possible, I do recommend enjoying these gyros the same day with freshly cooked chicken at least once!

How To Store Chicken Gyros

Store the chicken and tzatziki sauce separately in airtight containers for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
