Grilled Chicken Gyros

These grilled chicken gyros are so flavorful and make for a delicious and easy meal! They are filled with an easy grilled Greek chicken, fresh vegetables, like cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, pickled peppers, olives and then feta and tzatziki sauce on top.

I use my Greek Grilled Chicken for these that recipe is HERE. This chicken is coated in yogurt and then grilled. It stays super moist and tender from the yogurt and the seasoning chars around the chicken, giving it amazing flavor.

I have listed my favorite toppings for gyros but you can add whatever you love the most to these. I also have a recipe for my easy tzatziki sauce at the bottom of this post and you will find the recipe card for everything I talk about in this recipe at the bottom as well as in the post.

The tzatziki sauce will serve 4, so if you are a huge fan of tzatziki like me, you may want to double the recipe.
