I love Gyros! I came up with a recipe for chicken with all the flavors I love in Gyros! It is super easy. Just dump it in the slow cooker and let it do its magic!

These slow cooker Greek chicken gyros are not chicken with a bit of Greek seasoning but a recipe filled with authentic Greek flavor. It's a simple shredded chicken breast recipe cooked in a Crock Pot. Leave the chicken to cook during the day. There will be an amazing aroma in your kitchen when you return home. For a fantastic meal, serve on a warm pita with Tzatziki sauce and your favorite toppings.

    Mix the remaining ingredients in a bowl.

    Step 5
    Shred chicken. Mix chicken around in the juices in the Crock Pot.
  • Chicken placed into a pita pocked and toppings added.
    Step 6
    Serve in warm pitas or over a salad for a Greek-type salad. Add toppings like Tzatziki sauce, chopped seedless cucumber, chopped tomatoes, sliced red onions, pitted Greek olives, and Feta cheese. I do not recommend cutting the pitas open to make pockets because the meat is juicy and will soak through a pocket and make a mushy mess.
