I’ve been using my grill cast iron a lot lately. Maybe it’s my way of rushing summer 😂 But, I was in the mood for some gyros this week so I whipped some up! I think you’ll love it.
Here’s what you need for 4 gyros ✨
Marinade
16 oz. chicken breasts (sliced in half to make thinner)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 lemon (squeezed)
1/4 onion (halved)
2 tbsp Greek yogurt
3 garlic cloves
2 tsp oregano
2 tsp cumin
2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp tumeric
1 tsp ground coriander
salt (big pinch)
pepper (small pinch)
For Gyro
4 naan (or flatbreads)
cucumber (sliced)
1/2 red onion (sliced)
1 cup romaine (sliced fine)
tomatoes (sliced)
Homemade Tzatziki
1 cup greek yogurt (plain)
1 mini cucumber (peeled and minced very fine)
2 small garlic cloves (minced veryyyyyy fine)
1 tbsp fresh dill
1/4 lemon (squeezed)
salt (pinch)
pepper (pinch)
What you’ll do
- Salt chicken breasts on both sides. Blitz marinade in the blender or food processor, add to a ziplock or bowl with chicken. Let marinade while you’re prepping your toppings (ideally though, for at least an hour).
- Heat a cast iron grill oven high heat (if not using a grill pan, heat over medium-high). Coat with 2 tbsp vegetable oil. Add chicken, sear ofr 5-6 minutes, flip, sear another 5-6 minutes. Remove, let rest 5 minutes, the diced.
- Heat your naan bread in the oven or toast it. Add 2 tbsp tzatziki, lettuce, red onion, cucumbers, tomatoes, chicken, and a little more tzakiki. And enjoy!
