Gyros Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinated Chicken

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breast (or gyro meat) and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Meat

    Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. If using traditional gyro meat, follow package instructions for heating.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Pitas

    Warm the pita bread on the grill for about 1 minute on each side or until soft.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Gyros

    Slice the grilled chicken and place it in the center of each pita. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, sliced red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Wrap the pita around the fillings and serve immediately while warm.
