Quick and healthy Mediterranean Chicken Gyros bursting with flavor. Tender, marinated chicken grilled to perfection and wrapped in warm pita bread with fresh veggies and a creamy yogurt sauce. This customizable and visually appealing dish is perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 pita breads
  • 1 cup chopped lettuce
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup sliced cucumbers
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken by mixing olive oil, oregano, salt, pepper, and minced garlic in a bowl. Add chicken breasts and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat grill or skillet to medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
  3. While the chicken rests, mix Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl to create the sauce.
  4. Chop fresh vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
  5. Assemble each gyro by placing sliced chicken in warm pita bread and topping with fresh veggies and yogurt sauce.
  6. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Marinating chicken overnight enhances flavor and tenderness.
  • Let cooked chicken rest before slicing to retain moisture.
  • Fresh herbs can elevate the gyros.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
  • Reheat gently in the microwave or on a skillet.
