Greek chicken gyros (halal version)

Method

1. 1

   Marinate the chicken in a mixture of Greek yoghurt, crushed garlic, oregano, lemon juice and olive oil, and leave it to soak up the marinade for several hours in the fridge.

2. 2

   Grill the marinated chicken on a hot grill or in a cast-iron pan until cooked through and lightly browned on the outside.

3. 3

   Let the grilled chicken rest for a few minutes to keep it juicy, then cut it into thin slices.

4. 4

   Warm the pita breads briefly on a griddle or in a frying pan until soft and pliable.

5. 5

   Fill the pitas with the grilled chicken, tzatziki, sliced tomato and onion and chips, roll them up tightly and serve hot straight away. Gyros is one of the most famous Greek street foods of all; this chicken version is a popular, delicious halal alternative to the traditional recipe, which was sometimes made with a mix of meats that could include pork.
