Preparation Steps
1
Cut the chicken breast into strips, then marinate with gyros spice mix and olive oil. Let it sit for at least 20 minutes. Tip: The longer you marinate it, the more intense the flavor of the meat will be.
2
Cook the meat in a hot pan for 6â8 minutes until nicely browned. Don't overcrowd the pan so that it browns instead of steams!
3
Wash the vegetables: tear the lettuce, slice the tomatoes and cucumber, and thinly slice the red onion. Tip: Prepare the vegetables just before serving to keep them fresh.
4
For the tzatziki, mix the Greek yogurt with grated cucumber, crushed garlic, salt, and pepper. Store chilled until serving.
5
Cut the potatoes into fries and bake or fry in oil until golden brown. Tip: Soaking them in cold water beforehand makes them even crispier.
6
To serve: layer the gyros meat in buns or pita bread with lettuce, vegetables, and tzatziki. Serve with french fries and soda or iced tea, served cold. Tip: Arrange it on a tray or large plate for a restaurant-style presentation.
