Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken Marinade

  • 2 chicken breasts, sliced into strips
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Gyro Wraps

  • 4 pita breads or flatbreads
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cucumber, sliced
  • ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

For the Spicy Garlic Yogurt Sauce

  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½–1 teaspoon hot sauce or chili paste
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, dried oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the sliced chicken breasts and toss to coat evenly. Let the chicken marinate for at least 20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  2. Grill the Chicken: Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken strips for 4–5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through and slightly charred for a smoky flavor.
  3. Prepare the Spicy Garlic Yogurt Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, hot sauce or chili paste, and salt. Adjust the level of hot sauce according to your spice preference, mixing until smooth.
  4. Warm the Pita Breads: Lightly warm the pita breads in a dry skillet or oven to make them more pliable for wrapping.
  5. Assemble the Gyro Wraps: Lay the warmed pita breads flat and layer with shredded lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and thinly sliced red onion. Add the grilled chicken on top.
  6. Add Sauce and Garnish: Drizzle the spicy garlic yogurt sauce generously over the chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley on top for added flavor and freshness.
  7. Wrap and Serve: Fold or roll the pita breads tightly around the fillings to form wraps. Serve immediately while warm for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • Marinate the chicken longer, up to 2 hours, for even more flavorful meat.
  • Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs as an alternative for juicier meat.
  • Adjust hot sauce quantity in the yogurt sauce to control spiciness.
  • For gluten-free options, substitute pita with gluten-free flatbreads or lettuce wraps.
  • Grill the vegetables lightly for a warm variation.
  • Leftover chicken can be stored in the fridge and used for salads or wraps later.
