Description

Busy day? Chicken gyros are here to save it! Packed with protein, veggies, and flavor, they’re the ultimate solution for fast, healthy, and mouthwatering meals.


Ingredients

Units Scale

Chicken:

  • 34 chicken fillets
  • 2 tbsp harissa
  • 1/3 cup plain yogurt
  • Salt & pepper

Flatbread: Store-bought

Tzatziki:

  • 1 cucumber (grated and drained)
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • Salt
  • Lemon juice
  • Mint (optional)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 red onion (finely chopped)


Instructions

  1. Grate the cucumber and wring out all that extra water, it’s worth the squeeze!
  2. Toss it into a bowl with yogurt, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, red onion, and olive oil.
  3. Stir it up, chill, and sprinkle with some mint for a fresh finish.
  4. Slice the chicken into strips, then let it sit in a delicious harissa-yogurt marinade with a dash of salt and pepper.
  5. Let it soak in all that flavor for 20–30 minutes; it’s the secret to juicy perfection.
  6. Heat a little oil in a pan and cook the chicken strips in batches until they’re golden, tender, and bursting with flavor.
  7. Warm the flatbread in a dry pan.
  8. Spread a generous layer of tzatziki, pile on the chicken, and top it with your favorite add-ons: juicy tomatoes, crunchy cucumbers, spicy jalapeños, or tangy red onions.
  9. Fold it up, take a bite, and brace yourself for a flavor explosion
