Description
Sheet Pan Greek Chicken Gyros deliver authentic Mediterranean flavors with minimal prep and cleanup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds boneless chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 bell peppers, sliced
- 1 medium red onion, sliced
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 4 warm pita breads
- Tzatziki sauce (yogurt, cucumber, garlic, herbs)
- Optional garnishes: fresh parsley, chopped tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, lemon wedges
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, pepper, and ground cumin to create a vibrant Greek-inspired marinade.
- Place the boneless chicken thighs in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken and toss to fully coat each piece. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes or refrigerate overnight for deeper flavor.
- Slice the bell peppers, red onion, and cucumber into even pieces to ensure they cook evenly and retain some crunch.
- Spread the marinated chicken thighs in the center of a large sheet pan. Arrange the bell peppers and red onions around the chicken in a single layer to promote even roasting and caramelization.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for approximately 25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred on the edges.
- While the chicken and veggies roast, warm the pita bread in the oven or on a skillet. Once ready, slice the chicken and vegetables, then load them onto the warm pita breads. Add a generous dollop of creamy, tangy tzatziki sauce on top.
