HOMEMADE GREEK CHICKEN GYRO RECIPE



Homemade Greek Chicken Gyro recipe image

The best homemade Greek chicken gyro recipe with fluffy pita breads and creamy tzatziki sauce for you to recreate this authentic Greek delight from scratch!

Provided by Eli K. Giannopoulos

Categories     Main

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 26

800g/ 28 oz. boneless chicken thighs (or mixed thighs and breasts)
1 onion cut into rings
1 red pepper cut into rings
1/3 of a cup olive oil
1 tbsp dried oregano
2 tsps smoked paprika
1/2 tsp cumin
1 tsp honey
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 clove of garlic, minced
salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cucumber
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 of a cup olive oil
500g of yogurt (18 ounces)
1-2 tbsps of red wine vinegar
a pinch of salt
8 pita breads
olive oil
1-2 tsps dried oregano
1 tomato, sliced
1 red onion, sliced
fried potatoes (optional)
romaine (cos) lettuce (optional)
paprika
salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • To prepare this chicken gyro recipe, start by preparing the marinade for the gyro. In a large bowl, combine marinade ingredients and stir well.
  • On a cutting board, place a piece of plastic wrap over the chicken thighs and pound until about 1 1/2 cm thick with a meat mallet or heavy pan.
  • In another large bowl combine chicken thighs and marinade, stirring well to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to one day.
  • Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
  • Skewer the chicken thighs individually on a spit (make sure to skewer them pretty tight). In between the chicken pieces skewer the onion and peppers.
  • Bake for about 1- 1 and 1/2 hour, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C)
  • Let it rest for about 8 minutes and then carve slices with a sharp knife.
  • In the meantime prepare the tzatziki sauce for the chicken gyro. Pour in a blender the olive oil and grated garlic and blend until combined.
  • Remove the skin and seeds of the cucumber and grate it into a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and leave aside for 10 minutes. Wrap the grated cucumber in a towel and squeeze, in order to get rid of the excess water.
  • In a bowl, add the cucumber, the blended garlic and oil, the yogurt, 1-2 tbsps of red wine vinegar, a pinch of salt and blend, until the ingredients are combined.
  • Store the tzatziki sauce in the fridge and always serve cold.
  • Prepare the pita breads. Preheat the oven to 250C. Use a cooking brush to oil the pita breads on both sides and season with salt and oregano. Place a large oven tray (upside down) at the bottom of the oven and place the pita breads on top of the tray. Bake for 2-3 minutes.
  • Chicken gyro is usually served wrapped, like a sandwich. Spread some tzatziki sauce on the pita breads and top it with the chicken gyro, some slices of red onion, some sliced tomato and fried potatoes and wrap.
  • For an easier version of this traditional Greek souvlaki with chicken gyro recipe you can serve with Greek yogurt or some mustard and mayonnaise sauce. Enjoy!

Provided by Heidi

Categories     Main Course

Number Of Ingredients 15

Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 1/4 teaspoons Mediterranean-spiced sea salt (, sea salt mixed with dried oregano)
1 1/2 pounds chicken tenders
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup tzatziki sauce (, recipe below)
4 slices flat Greek pita bread
4 cocktail tomatoes (, halved and then quartered)
1/4 red onion (, thinly sliced)
½ cucumber (, halved with skin and seeds removed)
¾ cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt
2 cloves garlic (, pressed or minced)
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh dill (, minced)
Pinch of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the lemon juice, yogurt, and sea salt in a large bowl and add the chicken tenders, tossing to coat well. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes or overnight.

HOMEMADE GREEK GYROS WITH TZATZIKI SAUCE (KEBABS*)



Homemade Greek Gyros with Tzatziki Sauce (Kebabs*) image

My version of Alton Brown's delicious gyro recipe.

Provided by adapted by Christina Conte

Categories     Main Courses

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

Tzatziki Sauce (recipe link in directions)
lettuce
sliced tomatoes
sliced sweet onion
1 medium size onion, roughly chopped
1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground lamb
2 large cloves of garlic
1 Tbsp dried marjoram
1 Tbsp dried ground rosemary (or a small sprig of fresh, taken off the main stem)
2 tsp Kosher salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Run the onion in a food processor for about 15 seconds. Place the onion in the center of a kitchen towel and squeeze out the juice and return to the food processor.
  • Add the meat, garlic, spices, salt and pepper to the onion, and process. Do so until it looks like a fine paste, about a minute. Place the mixture in a loaf pan and press evenly.
  • Bake in a water bath (place loaf pan inside another pan filled with water) at 325°F (165°C) for about an hour or more until temperature reaches 165-170°F (75°C.)
  • Remove from the oven, drain fat, and place on a cooling rack.
  • Cover meat with aluminum foil and a heavy weight (Alton suggests a brick) for about 15 minutes until internal temperature is 175°F (79°C) (I found the times are not quite accurate, and I didn't know if the brick actually had an effect, but I think the important part is getting the meat to the correct temperature.)
  • Place meat on a cutting board and slice as thinly as possible with an electric knife (using anything else would be much more difficult.)
  • I added the following step myself as I think it mimics the rotisserie a bit more. Add a few slices to a nonstick frying pan (very little or no oil) and heat gently until the meat browns a little.
  • In another pan, heat the pita bread.
  • Finally, place the meat on one half of the pita, topped with tzatziki sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, and onion. You could also put a little Greek dressing on the tomatoes too (extra virgin olive oil, vinegar, salt, oregano.)
  • Serve Homemade Greek Gyros with rice pilaf or a Greek salad, and enjoy!

TRADITIONAL GREEK CHICKEN GYRO WITH TZATZIKI SAUCE



Traditional Greek Chicken Gyro With Tzatziki Sauce image

Traditional Greek gyro's are hard to come by. This is a hearty meal that only the largest of appetites should try! You can find thin sliced chicken in most supermarkets now, however if you can't find it you can also pound chicken tenders. Also, depending on your skillet you may adjust the amount of oil needed to fry the fries. Finally, if you can't find greek yogurt any plain yogurt will do even though it is not traditional you will still get the same taste!

Provided by Athena Ann

Categories     Chicken

Time 55m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb thin sliced chicken
1 large russet potato
2 large pita bread
2 cups vegetable oil
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon ground oregano
1 teaspoon paprika
salt and pepper
romaine lettuce
cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 medium red onion, sliced
8 ounces plain Greek yogurt
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/8 teaspoon sugar
1/2 medium cucumber, finely diced
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • In a small bowl combine Greek yogurt, garlic, cumin, sugar, cucumber, and salt and pepper. Stir and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Pound chicken as thin as you can get it. Even if you have purchased the thin sliced chicken you still want to get it as thin as possible. Place chicken in a bowl and combine with vinegar, oregano, paprika, and salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • In the mean time, peel you potato and cut into 1/4 inch strips. Place cut potato in cold water for at least 15 minutes. Blanching the potatoes before frying will ensure a crispier fry.
  • In a large skillet heat vegetable oil. Personally, I regulate the temperature by instinct. I let the oil heat up and test it with a drop of water; if the water shoots back I know the oil is hot enough. If you aren't comfortable with this method you want the oil to stay around 360 degrees. When the oil is hot enough drop fries inches Depending on the thickness of your fry and your temperature control your fries will take anywhere from 10-20 minutes. You want your fries to have a deep golden brown. Keep a careful eye on them and flip if necessary.
  • Heat a medium DRY skillet. No oil is necessary to sauté the chicken. Begin to sauté chicken. It should only take about 1 minute on each side depending upon how thinly you pounded it. Let chicken rest under tin foil until you are ready to assemble.
  • You can either toast your pita or microwave it. I prefer to microwave it so it is more pliable (only about 20 seconds). Place 2 heaping tablespoons of the tzatziki sauce and spread over pita. Then place half of the chicken, place mostly in the center, making sure that you are able to fold in the sides. Traditionally, fries are to be placed on top of chicken WITHOUT drying off the oil; however this is entirely up to you. Place fries on top of chicken and top with tomatoes, lettuce, and red onions. Serve with extra tzatziki sauce on the side for dipping.
