How to Make Greek Chicken Gyros
Step 1: Season the Chicken
Pat the chicken breasts dry and drizzle with olive oil. Season both sides with oregano, salt, and pepper.
Step 2: Cook the Chicken
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken for about 5–7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Let rest for a few minutes, then slice into thin strips.
Step 3: Prep the Vegetables
Dice the tomatoes, slice the cucumber and red onion, and shred the lettuce if needed.
Step 4: Warm the Wraps
Heat wraps in a skillet or microwave for a few seconds until soft and pliable.
Step 5: Assemble the Gyros
Spread tzatziki sauce onto each wrap. Add lettuce, chicken, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and feta cheese. Drizzle lightly with Greek vinaigrette.
Step 6: Serve
Wrap tightly and serve immediately with seasoned fries or a fresh salad.
