Chicken Gyros Recipe With Tzatziki Sauce

I can’t even begin to tell you how delicious these Greek wraps taste. Greek tzatziki, juicy marinated chicken breasts, fresh tomatoes, and onions all wrapped together in pita flatbreads to create a flavorful explosion in your mouth! You will absolutely be going to LOOOVE them once you try them.

And trust me, this Chicken Gyro Recipe is easier than it looks to put together. When you hear Gyro don’t think about the one you buy on the street.

The homemade version of it is as simple as marinating some chicken breasts with a few spices and roast it in the oven. You then cut it in strips and wrap it inside pita flatbreads along with the rest of the ingredients.

This version is also fried-potato-free so I guess I can safely say that it’s also a healthier chicken gyro recipe.
