Air-Fryer Chicken Gyros Loaded Flatbreads

Some meals instantly transport you somewhere warmer. These loaded flatbreads take everything brilliant about a proper Greek gyros—juicy marinated chicken, warm flatbreads, crisp salad and cool garlic yoghurt—and pile it together into one ridiculously satisfying dinner. Fresh, smoky, creamy and packed with flavour, this is the sort of meal that disappears before everyone has even sat down. No takeaway required.

Air-Fryer Chicken Gyros Loaded Flatbreads preparation stage

You’ll Need

For the Chicken
600g chicken thigh fillets, sliced
2 tbsp Greek yoghurt
1 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, finely grated
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp ground coriander
Juice of ½ lemon
1 tsp sea salt
½ tsp black pepper

To Build
4 Greek-style flatbreads
1 little gem lettuce, shredded
½ cucumber, diced
2 tomatoes, diced
½ red onion, finely sliced

Garlic Yoghurt Sauce
200g Greek yoghurt
1 garlic clove, finely grated
Juice of ½ lemon
1 tbsp chopped fresh dill or parsley

Pinch of salt

Optional but Dangerous

Crumbled feta

Pickled red onions

Chilli flakes

Air-fried chips

Method

Preheat your air fryer to 200°C.

In a large bowl, mix together the Greek yoghurt, olive oil, garlic, smoked paprika, oregano, cumin, coriander, lemon juice, salt and black pepper.

Add the sliced chicken and coat thoroughly. Leave to marinate for 20–30 minutes if you've got time.

Arrange the chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket.

Air fry for 12–14 minutes, shaking halfway through, until lightly charred around the edges and fully cooked.

Meanwhile, mix together all of the garlic yoghurt sauce ingredients until smooth.

Warm the flatbreads in the air fryer for 1 minute.

Spread each flatbread with a generous spoonful of the garlic yoghurt sauce.

Top with shredded lettuce, cucumber, tomato, red onion and the hot chicken.

Finish with extra garlic yoghurt, crumbled feta and a pinch of chilli flakes if using.

Fold, load up and serve immediately.

Lad Tip: Don't slice the chicken too thin. Slightly thicker strips stay much juicier in the air fryer and develop those dark, charred gyros-style edges without drying out.
