Ingredients

For the Chicken:

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste

For the Tzatziki Sauce:

1 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cucumber finely grated and drained
2 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste

For Assembling:

Greek pita or flatbread
Sliced tomatoes
Sliced red onion
Lettuce leaves

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken:

In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add the sliced chicken and toss to coat. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Prepare the Tzatziki Sauce:

In another bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, chopped dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.

Preheat the Air Fryer:

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.

Air Fry the Chicken:

Place the marinated chicken slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook the chicken in batches. Cook the chicken for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and has a golden, crispy exterior.

Warm the Pita:

While the chicken is cooking, you can warm the Greek pita or flatbread by wrapping them in aluminum foil and placing them in the air fryer for about 2 minutes.

Assemble the Gyros:

To assemble the gyros, spread a generous spoonful of Tzatziki sauce onto the warm pita. Add a few slices of cooked chicken, sliced tomatoes, red onion, and lettuce leaves.

Serve and Enjoy:

Fold the pita over the filling and secure it with a toothpick if necessary. Serve your delicious Air Fryer Chicken Gyros with a side of extra Tzatziki sauce for dipping and your choice of side dishes.

Enjoy the Culinary Delight:

Indulge in the harmonious blend of flavors and textures as you savor each bite of your Air Fryer Chicken Gyro. The crispy, seasoned chicken and creamy Tzatziki sauce come together to create a Mediterranean masterpiece that's sure to satisfy your taste buds.
