These Greek Chicken Gyros with Cucumber Tzatziki are a delicious blend of bold Mediterranean flavours wrapped in warm, fluffy flat bread. Juicy, marinated chicken is perfectly grilled with oregano, garlic, and smoked paprika, then layered with refreshing tzatziki sauce, ripe tomatoes, crisp red onions, and fragrant parsley. The creamy, garlicky cucumber tzatziki adds a cool contrast to the savoury chicken, making each bite irresistibly flavourful. Perfect for a quick, satisfying meal, these homemade gyros bring a taste of Greece straight to your kitchen!

Best, Matt
๐๐
I have a mate whos greek dont they use pork and lamb in their gyros. My kind of food though rik i love greek pork belly
Thatโs my kind of food.So fresh and tasty.
Oh I love these! I make mine with chicken, too. Your spice mix looks great! Thanks!
Oh my word, fantastic recipe, I love making the flatbreads and use them in many different dishes especially in place of a naan covered in garlic butter with my favourite curry , thanks as always ๐
I love Greek food
Great stuff! (as always)
Yum!!!! Thanks Rik
My favorite part of your videos is at rhe end, when you taste the magic! ๐
Hi Mr. Rik! Gyros are awesome! May I ask where you got that cool stone board for rolling dough on?
Looks absolutely fresh & delicious Rik ๐, you once again have me positively drooling ๐คค! Will definitely be trying this in the future ๐๐. But for now (following my recent plumbing woes), financial belts have had to be severely tightened, so a no frills diet awaits me in the coming weeks๐ซฃ, probably wonโt do my waistline any harm either – so every cloud & all that jazz!๐ But in the meantime I will definitely be attempting the instant pot homemade yoghurt & those soft, tasty looking flat breads!๐ฎ
As always thank you ๐ for sharing & hope youโre enjoying a lovely weekend! xx ๐จโ๐ณ๐๐
I've got mint. I can do mint.
This is wonderful! ๐๐๐๐ป Looks so much tastier than the ready seasoned giros from the grocery store. And I love baking my own bread.
Cucumber and feta cheese are on the grocery list for tomorrow. Everything else I've already got. Looking forward to it, it's been ages since I ate Greek food. Thanks, chef!!
These look amazing Rik yumm๐๐๐๐ป
I grew up on GIRO's pmsl another recipe am going to try.
I LOVE Gyros! Looking forward to making this recipe. FYIโฆ itโs pronounced YEE-roh โค
There is simply nothing more satisfying than starting my day watching Rik in the kitchen. Inspired, as always, and thanks feels inadequate. So much goodness here.
Delicious, thankyou, sharing.
This looks great,and you are using healthy ingredients too. I have had to pass by a lot of your recipes lately as although they are very tempting they do not comply with doctors orders โฆ ๐
Hi Rik, could you do a lamb/meat samosa recipe plz ๐
Do the flatbreads freeze well? If so, would you cook them first or just freeze the dough?
Gyros are an absolutely amazing sandwich (for want of a better word). I prefer lamb but my missus likes chicken, so I'll enjoy making these for her this week. Another winner Rik, hope you're keeping well sir!
You cannot eat Greek food without eating chicken. Fabulous Rik. One for the list. I lived in the London B of Haringey growing up just off Green Lanes. I know about Greek/Turkish food from restaurants and neighboursโค. โค โคfabโคulโคous. I have visitedโค โคtโคheโค โคGreek Islands. โค ๐๐๐
Lovely Jubbly Thank you ๐
Yummmm! โคโคโค
Pronounce it 'yee rose'. Love the recipe, looks great.
Looks really good, well done!
They look lovely, Rik. ๐
One can truly see that you love what you are doing. Even if it weren't for the fantastic recipies I would still want to watch someone be as invested into their hobby as you are, it is actually really sweet. I hope you have a wonderful weekend, keep it up!
Its pronounced Yeer Ro ๐ i worked fur Greeks in a restaurant.
Great idea ๐๐ป
