My homemade chicken gyros recipe is a delicious twist on the classic Greek street food. Tender, marinated chicken, cooked perfectly and served on warm pita bread. Top with your favourite fresh veggies and tangy tzatziki sauce. It’s a flavour-packed meal that’s easy to make and customisable to suit your family’s tastes. The best part is that it comes together in less than 15 minutes. Whether hosting a dinner party or just looking for a tasty meal on a busy weeknight, this chicken gyros recipe will quickly become your go-to!
Chicken
To serve
Note 1 – Prepare the chicken by trimming the fat and slightly flattening it. Use a mallet, rolling pin or empty wine bottle. Place a sheet of baking paper over the chicken and pound the thicker side to create one even fillet. This step isn’t essential but speeds up the cooking time and means the chicken cooks through more evenly.
MAKE AHEAD – Marinate the chicken for up until 24 hours before cooking.
LEFTOVERS – Refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave. Not suitable for freezing.

Do you use the equivalent of table salt for sea salt flakes? Thanks for all the great recipes 🙂

Thank you so much for the lovely message! I prefer sea salt flakes but they can definitely be subbed with table salt – I find the level of saltiness is still spot on 😍 x
