That sounds delicious! Greek Chicken Gyros with Tzatziki Sauce and Greek Salad make for a fresh and flavorful meal. Here’s how you can prepare them:
For the Greek Chicken Gyros:
Ingredients:
1 lb chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1 tbsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
4-6 pita bread or flatbreads (for wrapping)
Instructions:
Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, paprika, coriander, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat them evenly with the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for more flavor).
Cook the Chicken: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and browned on the outside. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
Slice the Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice it into thin strips.
Assemble the Gyros: Warm the pita or flatbread. Layer the sliced chicken on the bread and top with Tzatziki sauce and Greek salad (recipe below).
