slow cooker greek chicken gyros
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!
Blue Ribbon Recipe
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.

How To Make slow cooker greek chicken gyros
-
Step 1Place chicken in a Crock Pot/slow cooker.
-
Step 2Mix the remaining ingredients in a bowl.
-
Step 3Pour over the chicken.
-
Step 4Cover and cook on low for 6 hours.
-
Step 5Shred chicken. Mix chicken around in the juices in the Crock Pot.
-
Step 6Serve 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.
