These Greek chicken gyros bring all the vibrant, herby flavors of the Mediterranean — minus the fuss. Juicy, oven-roasted chicken thighs paired with warm pitas, crisp veggies, creamy tzatziki, and tangy feta make this an easy dinner that’s as fun to build as it is to eat.
Greek Chicken
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 tbsp olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp kosher salt
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp honey
Zest of 1 lemon
Tzatziki Sauce
1 English cucumber, shredded & pressed dry
1 1/2 cups full-fat plain Greek yogurt
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp lemon juice
1 garlic clove, minced
Kosher salt to taste
To Serve
5 fresh pitas or naan, warmed
Toppings: Feta cheese, sliced tomato, pickled red onion, shredded romaine, fresh dill
Marinate the chicken: Toss chicken with olive oil, garlic, salt, oregano, mustard, honey, and lemon zest. Let sit for 20 minutes (or up to overnight).
Roast: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread chicken on a sheet pan and roast for 20–25 minutes, turning once, until golden and cooked through.
Make tzatziki: Mix cucumber, yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and salt. Chill while chicken cooks.
Assemble gyros: Layer warm pita with roasted chicken, tzatziki, and your favorite toppings. Sprinkle with dill and feta for the final touch.
Fresh, zesty, and perfectly balanced — these gyros are the kind of meal that make weeknights feel like a Mediterranean escape.
