Ingredients

Scale

For the Gyro Chicken:

  • 1 lb chicken thighs or breasts, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste

For the Spicy Garlic Yogurt Sauce:

  • 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1–2 tsp chili paste or harissa (adjust heat)
  • 1 small garlic clove, grated
  • Salt, to taste

For Assembly:

  • 4 pita breads or flatbreads
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup sliced cucumber
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup sliced red onion
  • Fresh parsley or dill (optional)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, paprika, cumin, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Add the thinly sliced chicken and mix well to coat. Let the chicken marinate for at least 20 minutes to absorb all the flavors.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes until it is golden brown, slightly charred, and fully cooked through, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
  3. Prepare the Spicy Garlic Yogurt Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, chili paste or harissa, grated garlic, and salt until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Adjust spice level according to preference.
  4. Warm the Pita Breads: Lightly warm the pita or flatbreads in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable, which helps in wrapping the fillings easily.
  5. Assemble the Gyro Wraps: Lay a warm pita flat and layer with cooked chicken, shredded lettuce, sliced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced red onion. Drizzle generously with the spicy garlic yogurt sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley or dill if desired. Wrap tightly and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Marinate the chicken for longer (up to 2 hours) for deeper flavor.
  • You can substitute chicken thighs with chicken breasts if preferred.
  • Adjust the amount of chili paste in the sauce to control spiciness.
  • Serve with extra sauce on the side for dipping.
  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free pita or wraps.
