Greek Chicken Gyro
Mar 29, 2026 01:39 PM
This Greek Chicken Gyros Recipe features warm pita bread piled high with grilled chicken, fresh veggies, and the best tzatziki sauce I’ve ever tasted.
This Greek chicken marinade has been one of my go-to ways to make chicken for years. I honestly know it by heart. Most of the time, I serve it over rice with veggies for an easy Greek chicken bowl. But when I had family coming to visit, I decided to switch things up and try it in warm pita for more of a gyro feel.
I love Greek food and all those fresh, delicious flavors, and in my opinion, nothing beats a good gyro. So I set everything out like an elevated taco bar with grilled chicken, soft pita, and all the toppings so everyone could build their own. It was one of those dinners where people kept going back for more.
It ended up being one of my favorite ways to serve a crowd, and now these Greek chicken gyros are officially on regular rotation at my house.
