Sheet Pan Chicken Gyros
Description
This recipe uses boneless, skinless chicken thighs sliced into thin strips and tossed in olive oil with a mix of minced garlic, oregano, coriander, thyme, cumin, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Baking at high heat (450°F) cooks the chicken evenly while preserving juiciness. Lemon juice is stirred in after cooking to add brightness.
To serve, warm the pita bread and fill with the roasted chicken and assorted fresh toppings including romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, and feta cheese. Tzatziki sauce adds a creamy, tangy complement, completing the gyro experience without requiring separate cooking surfaces.
This assembled gyro is ideal for quick dinners or casual meals, offering classic Mediterranean flavors made accessible through sheet pan roasting.
