 Chicken gyro is a popular Mediterranean dish that is enjoyed by many around the world. It is made with marinated chicken that is cooked on a rotisserie and then wrapped in a pita bread along with various toppings such as tomatoes, onions, and tzatziki sauce. In this article, we will show you how to make a delicious chicken gyro recipe that you can enjoy at home.

Ingredients:

1 lb boneless chicken breast

1/4 cup olive oil

2 cloves of garlic, minced

2 tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp dried thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

4 pita breads

Toppings of your choice (tomatoes, onions, tzatziki sauce, etc.)

Instructions:

Start by marinating the chicken. In a large bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper. Add the chicken breast to the bowl and toss to coat the chicken evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on a baking sheet. Roast the chicken for 20-25 minutes, or until fully cooked.

While the chicken is cooking, you can prepare the toppings. Dice the tomatoes and onions and set them aside. Mix together the tzatziki sauce and set it aside as well.

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Once cooled, slice the chicken into thin strips.

Heat up the pita bread in the oven for a few minutes, or until warm and slightly crispy.

Assemble the gyros by placing a pita bread on a plate, adding some chicken strips, and topping it with tomatoes, onions, and tzatziki sauce.
