Chicken Gyros Ingredients
Method
Preparation Directions
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, mix olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them thoroughly in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best flavor.

Bake the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the marinated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Prepare the Pita
While the chicken is baking, warm the pita bread in a separate oven or on a skillet until lightly toasted. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
