Chicken Gyros
You know what's better than warmed Chicken Gyros slathered with tzatziki sauce, crunchy cucumbers, fresh tomatoes and some herbs.... NOTHING! Seasoned chicken that's grilled to perfection and wrapped up in a warm pita is the epitome of happiness in my book and we all deserve that in our lives.

In a large zip-top bag, combine the lemon juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, oregano and red-pepper flakes. Add the chicken, zip the top of the bag and give it a quick shake to combine. Refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours.
Pre-heat a cast iron to medium high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill each chicken thigh for 4-5 minutes on each side until done. Remove and set aside to rest.

Absolutely wonderful! I’m very rural and have to drive along way to get a gyro so I decided to make my own but couldn’t find lamb either… I found this recipe and honestly I loved it with chicken! Thanks for sharing your recipe!
Delicious! I grilled the chicken. This is going to be my go to marinade for chicken.
Fantastic and easy! I used boneless skinless chicken breast and subbed marjoram for oregano and it tasted great. I use marjoram in a lamb/beef gyros recipe and thought it would be OK. It was. Family loved it too!
Delicious!! Even my 2 year old loved it! Made the tzatziki sauce too! Must have!
Gaby does it again! Absolutely delicious, the chicken is juicy, flavorful, tender and crispy! I made the homemade tzatziki on the side and that was great as well. The meal is so fresh it felt like it was from a nice restaurant.
If you prep a little ahead of time this is definitely a quick week night meal! My husband said this should be called marry me chicken!
Made this for the family and we really liked it. This one will go into the regular rotation.
really like your gyros recipe having tried it, my little family was delighted
Very simple recipe. Thought it seemed kind of boring before I made it but the marinade is to die for.
Delicious! Fam raved about it. Taste like a restaurant! Substituted breast for thighs because that is what si had in fridge. Can’t wait to make it for my extended family when they visit in May.
This hand held gyro is so yummy. I loved the chicken, that marinade is Everything. Then marry it with the fresh , tomato and cucumber, tzatziki and hummus. I am making this Sunday, Gaby for the Super Bowl win!!
