Recipe FAQs

→ What if I don't have a grill? Can I cook the chicken another way?
Of course! You can pan-fry the marinated chicken in a hot skillet or non-stick pan on medium-high heat. Cook each side for about 6-7 minutes, making sure it reaches 165°F (75°C). It won't have that grilled char, but it stays super tasty.
→ How do I adapt this meal to be gluten-free?
Swap regular pita with gluten-free options or wraps. Check that your yogurt is labeled gluten-free (which it usually is). Everything else in the dish is naturally gluten-free!
→ Can I prep parts of this meal ahead to save time?
Definitely! The tzatziki tastes even better when made a day in advance and kept in the fridge. You can marinate the chicken up to a full day beforehand. Cooked chicken also reheats nicely when you're ready to assemble everything.
→ What are some good sides to serve with this dish?
Go traditional with Greek salad, roasted lemon potatoes, or cucumber-tomato salad. Want it lighter? Pair it with hummus and veggies. For something heartier, try Greek fries, rice pilaf, or a Mediterranean couscous salad.
→ What vegetarian swaps would work instead of chicken?
Replace the chicken with grilled halloumi, roasted chickpeas, or marinated and charred portobello mushrooms. The same marinade blends beautifully with these, and the tzatziki complements them fantastically.
→ How can I keep my gyros from spilling everywhere when I eat them?
Don't overstuff the pita, and keep it warm so it's soft and foldable. Wrap the bottom securely with parchment paper or foil, tucking it tightly to make a neat little pocket for easy eating.

Ingredients

→ Chicken Prep

01 1 lb (500g) chicken breast, no bones or skin
02 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
03 A few pinches of salt and black pepper
04 3 tbsp olive oil
05 2 tsp oregano (dried)

→ Feta Dip (Tzatziki)

06 A medium-sized cucumber, grated
07 A cup of Greek yogurt
08 100g (3.5 oz) crumbly feta cheese
09 Juice from half a lemon (about 2 tbsp)
10 A sprinkle of salt and pepper

→ To Serve

11 4 pita bread rounds

Steps

Step 01

In a mixing bowl, stir olive oil, salt, pepper, oregano, and chopped garlic together. Toss in the chicken, making sure it's fully coated. Cover and chill for no less than 30 minutes.

Step 02

Salt the grated cucumber and leave it for 10 minutes to draw out water. Squeeze it dry, then stir it into a bowl with yogurt, lemon juice, feta, and salt and pepper. Pop it in the fridge to keep cool.

Step 03

Grill chicken over medium heat, letting each side cook for 6-7 minutes until the internal temp hits 165°F (75°C). Once done, let it sit before slicing.

Step 04

Toss the pita rounds on the grill for a minute or so per side until toasty and warm.

Step 05

Layer the chicken onto the warm pita, add your toppings, and spoon over the tzatziki.

Step 06

Fold the pita over the filling and dig in! Serve with more tzatziki on the side if you want.

Notes

  1. Let the chicken soak in the marinade for 2 hours or longer for deeper taste.
  2. Fresh herbs like oregano make the flavors shine.
  3. Serve warm—chilled dishes can't match the flavor of warm gyros.
  4. If you like extras, pile on tomatoes, lettuce, or onion slices.
