How to Make Chicken Gyros at Home

Here is the process of How to Make Gyros!

Make the Tzatziki Sauce

Make this Authentic Greek Tzatziki Sauce a few hours in advance or overnight.

Marinate the Chicken

Next, assemble the ingredients for the Greek chicken gyro marinade. 2 lbs. chicken breast tenders, boneless, skinless; 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt, plain, full fat; 3 tablespoons lemon juice; 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar; 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil; 3 teaspoons minced garlic; 2 teaspoons marjoram; 2 teaspoons rosemary; 1 ½ tablespoons dried oregano ; 1 teaspoon onion powder; 1 teaspoon salt; ¼ teaspoon black pepper.

Measure the marinade ingredients and put them into a 1 gallon zip top plastic bag.

Close the bag and then massage the bag to mix well.

Add the chicken tenders to the zip top bag, close the bag and then massage the bag so that each chicken tender is well covered by the marinade.

Place the bag in the refrigerator and let it marinate for at least 3 hours. 12 hours works the best, but don’t marinate it longer than 24 hours or your chicken will be too mushy.

Next, prepare the vegetables by dicing the cucumber, tomatoes and red onion.

Also, get the feta cheese ready for the Greek Gyro toppings.

If you let the tzatziki sauce yogurt mix chill before adding the cucumber and dill, then now is the time to finish the sauce for gyros now.

Warm the Pita Bread

Preheat your oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit.

Just before you cook the chicken, place the pita breads on a baking sheet and place them in the oven to be warmed.

Cook the Chicken

After the chicken has marinated and you are almost ready to serve the gyros, then it is time to cook the chicken.

You can cook the chicken on an outdoor grill, an indoor grill pan or a skillet. Brush the grill, grill pan or skillet with olive oil, then preheat using medium high heat.

After the grill or pan is hot, remove the chicken from the marinade bag and place on the grill or in the pan.

Cook the chicken for 3 to 5 minutes on each side (cooking time depends on the size of chicken tenders), until they are golden brown and thoroughly cooked with an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Remove the chicken from the grill or pan and place onto a cutting board. Cover with foil and allow to rest for 5 minutes.

Doesn’t that grilled chicken gyro meat just look delicious with all those spices? Trust me, it doesn’t just look delicious, it is delicious, tender and moist. My mouth is already watering. Yours?

Slice the chicken tenders and put them on a serving plate so that you can assemble the chicken gyros.

Assemble the Greek Chicken Gyros

Okay, so now that everything is ready, let’s assemble a Greek Chicken Tzatziki wrap, starting with the pita or flat bread.

Lay out a warmed pita bread onto a plate.

Place sliced chicken down the middle of the bread.

Now, spoon lots of Authentic Greek Tzatziki sauce on top of the chicken. My advice is to go big here so that you are sure to have lots of tzatziki sauce in your gyro.

Messy, drippy gyros are the best gyros!
