Directions

1Prepare chicken thighs, removing bones and skin.
2Place the chicken between parchment paper and flatten with a rolling pin.
3Transfer the chicken to a bowl or a metal pan.
4Add olive oil, mustard, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt and black pepper to the chicken.
5Mix the chicken thoroughly with the seasonings.
6Prepare the chicken for the vertical cooking. Cut an onion in half and place it on a skewer in the middle of a baking pan.
7Stack the chicken thighs on the skewer, ensuring it forms a compact tower.
8Set your outdoor oven to 375°F.
9Place the chicken stack inside the oven.
10While the chicken is cooking, start making the dough for the flatbreads. In a bowl, combine flour and salt.
11Add Greek yogurt to the flour mixture.
12Mix and knead the dough until smooth.
13Divide the dough into small, equal portions.
14Roll out each portion into a flat, round bread.
15Cook the flatbreads in a pan until golden brown and slightly puffed.
16Prepare the tzatziki sauce. In a bowl, add Greek yogurt.
17Grate cucumber and add it to the yogurt.
18Add dill, mint, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and minced garlic to the mixture.
19Mix well until all ingredients are combined and the sauce is smooth.
20Check on the chicken; it should be golden brown and cooked through. Baste it with the accumulated juices.
21Carefully slice the cooked chicken from the stack.
22Assemble the gyros. Spread a generous amount of tzatziki sauce on a flatbread.
23Add a layer of sliced chicken.
24Slice fresh tomatoes and red onions.
25Add the sliced tomatoes and red onions on top of the chicken.
26Sprinkle with paprika and oregano.
27Fold the flatbread to create a wrap.
28Serve and enjoy!

Tips

Don’t skip the mustard. It gives the chicken a delicious tang and helps the seasonings to stick.
Highly recommend making this on a Traeger grill for an incredible wood-fired flavor and perfectly even cooking.
Serve the gyros as a platter with some salad, rice and potatoes or wrap it in a fresh flatbread with homemade tzatziki, tomato, onion and a dusting of smoked paprika.
Perfect for a weekend get-together or meal prep for the week.
Happy Father’s Day!
