Description

These Greek Chicken Gyros feature a vibrant pomegranate glaze and cooling mint yogurt drizzle, offering a delightful Mediterranean flavor experience. They’re a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, balancing savory, sweet, and tangy tastes in warm pita bread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 600g (1.3lb) Chicken Thighs: cut into ½ inch strips
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) Olive Oil: extra virgin
  • 1 Lemon: zest and juice
  • 3 Cloves Garlic: minced
  • 1 tsp (5g) Dried Oregano
  • ½ tsp (2g) Sea Salt
  • ¼ tsp (1g) Black Pepper: freshly ground
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) Pomegranate Molasses
  • 4 Large Pita Breads
  • 200g (7oz) Greek Yogurt: full-fat
  • ½ Cucumber (75g): grated, water squeezed out
  • 1 Clove Garlic: minced (for tzatziki)
  • 1 tbsp (3g) Fresh Dill: chopped
  • 1 tsp (5ml) Lemon Juice (for tzatziki)
  • ¼ tsp (1g) Salt (for tzatziki)
  • 2 tbsp (30g) Pomegranate Seeds
  • Fresh Mint Leaves: torn
  • Optional: Red Onion: thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare Marinade: Whisk olive oil, lemon zest, juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  2. Marinate Chicken: Coat chicken strips in marinade; marinate for 20 minutes.
  3. Make Tzatziki: Combine yogurt, cucumber, garlic, dill, lemon juice, and salt; refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  4. Prepare Glaze: Have pomegranate molasses ready.
  5. Grill Chicken: Grill chicken with glaze for 4-5 minutes per side, until cooked through.
  6. Rest & Slice: Rest chicken for 2 minutes, then slice.
  7. Warm Pita: Warm pita bread on grill for 30 seconds per side.
  8. Assemble Gyros: Spread tzatziki on pita, top with chicken, pomegranate seeds, and mint.
  9. Plate & Serve: Arrange gyros and drizzle with glaze.

Notes

Using chicken thighs ensures a tender and juicy result. Squeezing excess water from the cucumber is crucial for a thick tzatziki sauce.
