The tender, yogurt-marinated chicken is juicy, flavorful, and once cooked, it’s begging to be tucked inside pita alongside fresh veggies and slathered with an easy, homemade tzatziki sauce.  A gyro (pronounced YEE-row) is a Mediterranean diet dish that’s typically made with lamb or a mix of beef or lamb.Traditionally, gyro meat is stacked into a roughly-round tower on a vertical rotisserie that spins and roasts to drippy, luscious perfection near an open flame.

(“Gyro” means “round” in Greek, by the way.) When diners are ready for a serving, the cook uses a knife to slice of pieces from that large stack of spinning roasted meat.Street cart gyros and may restaurants serve this gyro meat in a pita with a wide array of toppings, including sauces, vegetables, and pickles.For my family-friendly and easy homemade gyro recipe, I replaced the red meat with chicken to make Greek Chicken Gyros.

But there’s no need to fear that this is a ho-hum meal as a result; a chicken marinade with yogurt, lemon, and herbs infuse each ounce of the chicken gyro meat with so much flavor.Table of ContentsRecipe ingredientsIngredient notesStep-by-step instructionsRecipe tips and variationsFrequently Asked QuestionsChicken Gyros Recipe Recipe Recipe ingredie
