Enjoy easy chicken gyros with creamy tzatziki, a simplified takeout favorite perfect for weeknight meals. This recipe brings authentic Greek flavors to your home kitchen.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 large pita breads
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion
  • Tzatziki sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine chicken pieces, olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  2. Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
  3. Cook the marinated chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Warm the pita breads according to package directions.
  5. Assemble the gyros by filling each warm pita with cooked chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, and a generous amount of tzatziki sauce.

Notes

  • For a spicier gyro, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
  • You can grill the chicken instead of pan-frying for a smoky flavor.
  • Homemade tzatziki can be made with Greek yogurt, cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, dill, and salt.
