  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Shredded lettuce

Sliced chicken (grilled or sautéed)

Cherry tomatoes (halved)

Red onion (thinly sliced)

Crumbled feta cheese

Tzatziki sauce

Olive oil

Fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Chicken: If using leftover or pre-cooked chicken, slice it thinly. If not, grill or sauté the chicken until fully cooked and then slice it into strips.

  • Prepare the Pita: Take a pita and fill it with a generous amount of shredded lettuce.

  • Assemble the Gyro: Layer the sliced chicken on top of the lettuce, followed by halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.

  • Add Toppings: Drizzle with tzatziki sauce and a little olive oil to enhance the flavor.

  • Garnish: Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley for extra color and flavor.

  • Wrap the Gyro: Fold the pita like a sandwich, wrap, and serve!

Notes

Add Some Heat: For a spicy twist, add sliced jalapeños or sprinkle red pepper flakes inside the gyro.

Veggie Lovers: Add extra veggies like cucumbers, bell peppers, or olives for a more personalized gyro.

Low-Carb Option: Serve the chicken and toppings in a lettuce wrap instead of pita for a low-carb alternative.
