Instructions

Prep chicken. If the chicken breasts are large, consider butterflying them. If using chicken thighs, remove visible fat. Place chicken in a resealable bag.
2 pounds chicken breasts
Add marinade. In a small bowl, combine the marinade ingredients – olive oil, fresh lemon juice, paprika, ground cumin, onion powder, kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk well and then pour over the chicken. Massage with your fingers and then refrigerate.
3 Tablespoons olive oil, 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Make tzatziki sauce. In a small mixing bowl, combine tzatziki sauce ingredients – plain Greek yogurt, diced cucumber, fresh minced dill, fresh lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and place in a small serving bowl. Add olive oil to serve.
1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 cup English cucumber, 1 ½ Tablespoons fresh dill, 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, 1 Tablespoon olive oil
Prep veggies. Chop the tomatoes, cucumbers red onion, and black olives. You can also use pickled red onions.

Prep grill. Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat. We use our Big Green Egg (charcoal grill) and add some wood chips too. We love that smoky flavor!
Grill chicken. Add the chicken to the grill grates, add grilling seasoning of your choice, and close lid. Cook chicken on one side for about 7-8 minutes depending on size, and then flip to the other side to finish cooking.
Let chicken rest for 10 minutes and then slice into long strips.
Assemble wraps. Spread naan or wraps out flat to assemble. Then layer the grilled chicken, veggies, and tzatziki sauce on top. Roll some parchment paper around the gyros to help keep them together.

Notes

Chicken is considered done when a digital thermometer registers 165 degrees F when inserted into the thickest part of the meat. We normally remove chicken at around 160 degrees and allow for some carry-over cooking.
If time permits, try making our Cast Iron Naan. This bread is soft, pillowy, and worth the extra effort!
To make feta fries, make our Baked Garlic Home Fries and then top with crumbled feta cheese and chopped cilantro.
Store leftover ingredients in separate containers. Assemble when ready to eat.
