Delicious and flavorful grilled Greek chicken wrapped in warm pita bread with tzatziki sauce, lettuce, tomato, and onion.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts boneless, skinless
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp Greek seasoning blend
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup dill chopped fresh
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 pita bread
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup red onion sliced
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, Greek seasoning blend, olive oil, and salt and pepper. Mix well.
- Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and toss until they are well coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and juices run clear. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.
- While the chicken is resting, make the tzatziki sauce by combining the Greek yogurt, chopped dill, lemon juice, and salt and pepper in a bowl. Mix well.
- To assemble the gyros, warm the pita breads on the grill or stovetop. Spread a generous amount of tzatziki sauce on each pita. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced red onion, and grilled chicken strips.
- Fold the pita in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious homemade Greek chicken gyros!

Not for me.
I omitted the red onion since I hate it, but still turned out great! Who cares about onions?
Simple to follow but I burned the chicken. Yikes! I’ll try again. Maybe less time on grill?
Looks good but not a fan of Greek food 🤷♂️.
Yum! My kids devoured these gyros. They said it’s their new favorite dinner!
That’s awesome! I’m glad your kids loved it. These gyros are seriously a hit in our house too!
This is bomb! I added some feta cheese and it took it to another level. 😍
This recipe is amazing! My family loved it. Will definitely make again!
The seasoning was too much for me. I prefer simpler flavors. Maybe less garlic next time?
I understand! Some people just like it simple. Have you tried just using lemon and olive oil? So good!
Less garlic? Nah! More garlic is always better! You just gotta give it a chance, trust me!
Too much garlic, maybe? My breath wasn’t great after! 😂
Haha, yeah! Garlic can do that! But it’s so worth it for the flavor, right?
I tried this and the chicken got burnt on the grill 😩. Maybe cool the grill?
Absolutely loved this recipe! The chicken was so flavorful and juicy! Will definitely make it again. 🌟
This really tastes like a restaurant dish! I made it for my family and they were so impressed! 😍
That’s awesome! I can’t wait to try it out. My family loves Greek food! 😋
Really? I mean, it looks good and all, but can it really taste like a restaurant’s? Just sounds too easy.
Good but why do you put dill in yogurt? I’m not a fan of herbs.
Great recipe, but I couldn’t find Greek seasoning, so I used Italian… wasn’t the same. Oops.
This recipe was amazing! The chicken was tender and full of flavor. My family loved it!
Yum! Perfect for summer barbecues. Definitely recommend!
Not sure about the seasoning… the chicken tasted too bland for me.
Maybe try marinating the chicken longer? I found it really flavorful when I let it sit overnight.
Looks good, but I dunno about the whole yogurt thing… Not a fan of dairy. Can I skip it? 🤷♂️
Delicious! The tzatziki is a game changer! 🌟
Great recipe but I think pitas should be warmed more. Mine were cold! Never cold gyros!
Hmmm.. I don’t think it matters that much, I mean they’re still pitas. But if you like them warm, just put them in the oven or something.
I agree with you! Warm pitas are a must for gyros. Cold ones just don’t hit right. Maybe try wrapping them in foil and then warming them on the grill next time?
Quick and easy to make! The tzatziki was the best part! A little too much garlic for my taste tho.
I tried this, but my chicken turned out really dry. I’m not sure what I did wrong. 😔
My mom made this exact dish and I thought it was just as good! Thanks for sharing!
Easy to make, but I burnt the chicken. Grill times should be clearer.
Yum! Going to make these for the kids! Hope they like it as much as I do. Fingers crossed! 🤞
Super easy to follow! I had to improvise with spaghetti because I didn’t have pita. Oops!
It was okay, but I didn’t find it as Greek as I expected. Could use more seasoning.
What do you mean, not Greek? You gotta be kidding! This is legit!
I think it tasted fine! Maybe add more oregano next time?
Tzatziki was too sour! I added sugar. Not sure if that’s right but it helped.
Absolutely delicious! The marinade made the chicken so flavorful. My family loved it!
I’m glad you loved it! I tried it too, but mine turned out a bit dry. Any tips to keep the chicken juicier?
So good! But why do people say Greek is just yogurt? There’s more to it, right? 🤔
