Ingredients

  • 600 g Chicken breast fillet
  • 1 kg Waxy potatoes
  • 4 Stück Garlic cloves
  • 4 EL tablespoons rapeseed oil
  • 1 Stück Lemon (juice and zest)
  • 1 TL Sweet paprika powder
  • 1 TL Dried oregano
  • 2 Stück Rosemary sprigs
  • 150 g Greek yogurt
  • 0.5 Stück Cucumber
  • 1 Bund Dill
  • 2 Stück Tomatoes
  • 4 Stück Flatbreads
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 220 °C top and bottom heat. Wash the potatoes, cut them into roughly 2 cm pieces and toss them with 2 tbsp rapeseed oil, 2 pressed garlic cloves, salt, pepper and the stripped rosemary needles.
  2. Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for about 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown. Turn them once during baking.
  3. Cut the chicken breast fillet into thin strips. In a bowl, mix well with 2 tbsp rapeseed oil, the juice and zest of the lemon, paprika powder, oregano, one pressed garlic clove, salt and pepper.
  4. For the dip, stir the yogurt together with the finely diced cucumber, the finely chopped dill, the remaining pressed garlic clove, salt and pepper, then refrigerate.
  5. Cut the tomatoes into slices or wedges. Warm the flatbreads briefly in the oven or in a pan according to the package instructions.
  6. Heat a large pan without fat until very hot. Sear the marinated chicken strips in batches for about 3 to 4 minutes on all sides until cooked through and lightly browned. Season with salt to taste.
  7. Arrange the gyros strips with the oven potatoes, tomatoes and yogurt dip on the flatbreads, or serve them separately.
