These Mediterranean chicken gyros combine spiced grilled chicken, cool tzatziki, and fresh vegetables wrapped in warm pita, making for a delicious and easy dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 pita bread
  • 1 cup sliced cucumbers
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • Feta cheese, crumbled (for topping)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • For Tzatziki sauce:
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, grated and drained
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1–2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Mix the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  2. Coat the chicken breasts with the mixture and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Cook the chicken on a grill or skillet over medium-high heat until cooked through, about 6 to 7 minutes per side.
  4. Let the cooked chicken rest briefly, then slice it thinly against the grain.
  5. Combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt in a bowl to make tzatziki.
  6. Place sliced chicken in each pita, then top with sliced cucumbers, diced tomatoes, red onion, crumbled feta, and tzatziki.
  7. Garnish with chopped parsley, wrap, and serve.

Notes

If you prefer thinner pita, use flatbreads or warmed wraps. For a lower-sodium option, choose reduced-sodium feta and adjust added salt in the marinade and sauce.
