Chicken Gyro Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breast, ensuring it's well coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the chicken is cooking, chop the lettuce, dice the tomatoes, and slice the onion.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Gyro

    Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Place the sliced chicken on pita bread, top with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and a generous amount of tzatziki sauce.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Wrap the pita around the fillings and serve immediately. Enjoy your Chicken Gyro!
