There’s just something about a gyros in the sun that’s irresistible.
If you’re after feel-good summer food, it doesn’t get much better than this. These easy homemade gyros pack in the protein as well as a whole load of flavour — I’m talking juicy chicken, creamy tzatziki, crunchy fresh salad, and, of course, a few crispy chips too. It’s an unbeatable combination all wrapped into one.
Top tip: if you’re cooking for veggie friends or family members, just switch out the chicken for halloumi strips. Sorted.

Ingredients
- 125g chicken breast
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp coriander
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp olive oil
- Lettuce (shredded)
- Red onion (sliced)
- 50g frozen chips
- 1 flatbread/wrap
Instructions
- First, make the tzatziki . G rate the cucumber and squeeze out excess liquid before placing it in a small bowl. Then add all of the remaining tzatziki ingredients, mix well to combine, and set aside.
- Next, place the oven chips in an air fryer (or oven if you don’t have one) and cook according to packet instructions or until golden and crispy.
- Meanwhile, heat a little olive oil in a frying pan . Season the chicken with paprika, cumin, coriander, and salt, and cook chicken over a medium heat until entirely white the whole way through with no pink bits remaining . Allow to cool slightly before slicing.
- Warm up your flatbread/wrap and place it on a plate. Make a cut halfway into the wrap, then arrange your fillings into each quarter : one quarter with the sliced chicken, one quarter with the salad, one with tzatziki, and one with the chips.
- Season with salt and pepper if you like, and a sprinkle of oregano if you want to get a bit more Mediterranean with it, then fold up and enjoy .
For the tzatziki:
- ¼ cucumber (grated)
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt
- ½ tsp minced garlic
