Weeknight Chicken Gyros Magic

There are a few meals I always have top of mind that I know every single person I’m serving will LOVE, and Chicken Gyros is one of them (followed closely by Hawaiian Bowls, and Spaghetti). They are so easy and quick to make, and even the pickiest eater at the table can enjoy a “deconstructed” gyro, with some pita triangles, grilled chicken, cucumber and tomato and a scoop of humus and tzatziki on the side.

If you really want a 10/10 meal though, I strongly recommend making your own pitas. The dough is so quick to make, they only rise for 30 minutes and they are absolutely worth the extra time!

How to Make Chicken Gyros

Make Tzatziki Sauce: Combine all tzatziki ingredients in a small bowl then refrigerate (can be made 1-2 days ahead).
