Gyro always reminds of carefree summers and holidays. That’s because gyro was something I always ate when I went on holiday to Greece. We never made gyro at home. That was mainly because we thought that making a homemade naan bread is difficult. When I started eating gluten-free, I figured I’ll probably never have a gyro in my life again. I mean I was thinking a normal naan bread is difficult to make, can you then imagine making a gluten-free one. That really seemed impossible. And it was until about a month ago when I braved up and tried to make my first homemade gluten-free naan bread. I have an entirely different post about how silly I was and how incredibly easy it is to make your own gluten-free naan. But once I succeeded and had that warm gluten-free naan in front of me. I knew immediately what I had to make with it. Yes, the first thought I had was a Gluten-Free Chicken Gyro. And life was good once again.

This gyro is super flavorful, light, easy to digest and beyond delicious. The taste is very Mediterranean and each bite brings me back to Greece. This gyro is definitely one of my favorite recipes I’ve done and I’m so happy to share it with you.

Instructions

To prepare the chicken fingers

• Put the already cut chicken breasts in a big bowl to marinate them with the mustard, garlic-infused olive oil and the rest of the herbs and spices. Cover the bowl with a plastic wrap and place it in the fridge for 1 hour.
• In the meantime make the naan bread. Follow this recipe to make them.
• Once the bread is ready, take out the bowl with the chicken breast. Either place them in a baking dish and bake them for about 25min on 200C or fry them in a pan with cooking oil.

To prepare the Tzatziki Sauce

• Lightly squeeze the grated cucumber between your palms over the sink to remove excess moisture. Transfer the squeezed cucumber to a serving bowl, and repeat with the remaining cucumber.
• Add the yogurt, olive oil, herbs, lemon juice, and salt to the bowl, and stir to blend. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Taste and add additional chopped fresh herbs, lemon juice, and/or salt, if necessary.
• Serve tzatziki immediately or chill for later. Leftover tzatziki keeps well, chilled, for about 4 days.

To assemble

• Take one naan bread, start by adding one lettuce leaf. Then add a few pieces of the sliced tomatoes, bell pepper, chicken fingers, feta cheese,and in the end Tzatziki Sauce (according to taste). Fold the bread in half and serve.
• Enjoy 🙂
