A delicious recipe for Mediterranean chicken gyros featuring marinated grilled chicken, fresh vegetables, and a creamy feta tzatziki sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cucumber, grated and drained
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 pita bread rounds
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs and ensure they are well-coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
  2. Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
  3. Once the grill is ready, take the chicken out of the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F) and slightly charred. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  4. For the tzatziki, combine Greek yogurt, crumbled feta cheese, grated cucumber (squeezed to remove excess water), fresh dill, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix until well combined and refrigerate.
  5. Warm the pita bread rounds on the grill or in a pan for 1-2 minutes until soft.
  6. Spread feta tzatziki on each pita, layer grilled chicken, shredded lettuce, red onion, and tomato. Garnish with parsley.
  7. Wrap each gyro in parchment paper or foil and serve.

Notes

Marinate the chicken for a longer time for more flavor. Customize toppings as preferred.
