Chicken Gyro Ingredients

Method

Chicken Gyro Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground paprika, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well mixed. Add the boneless chicken thighs and coat them thoroughly in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 75°C (165°F). Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the chicken is resting, slice the tomato, cucumber, and red onion. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Gyros

    Slice the cooked chicken into strips. Take a piece of pita bread and layer it with chicken strips, sliced tomato, cucumber, and red onion. Drizzle with tzatziki sauce.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Wrap the pita around the filling and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade chicken gyro sandwich!
