Ingredients

4 people
For the chicken and marinade:
  • 500 gram chicken thigh fillets
  • 2 clove garlic
  • 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Olive oil, salt, and pepper
To serve:
  • Flatbread or pita bread
  • Tzatziki
  • Sliced cucumber, tomato and red onion

Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Skillet

INSTRUCTIONS (how to make this recipe):

  • Place the chicken breast in a large bowl and add all the ingredients for the marinade (except the olive oil), then season with salt and pepper. Stir well so that the chicken breast is thoroughly coated with the marinade, and let it marinate (preferably for 1 hour or, even better, overnight).
  • Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a skillet and fry the chicken thigh fillet until golden brown and cooked through on both sides.
  • Remove the chicken thigh fillet from the pan, cut into strips, and return it to the pan to fry briefly.
  • Serve the gyros on flatbread (or pita) with tzatziki, cucumber, and tomato to taste. Enjoy!
