Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Grill or oven
  • Air fryer (or baking tray if using an oven)
  • Tongs
  • Knife & cutting board

Ingredients
  

  • For the Chicken:
  • 2 chicken breasts or thighs
  • A few tablespoons of fat-free yogurt
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • 1 tbsp garlic & paprika
  • 1 tsp rosemary & oregano
  • Pinch of salt
  • For the Chips:
  • 2 potatoes skin on
  • Low-calorie cooking spray
  • Roast potato seasoning or your favorite spice mix
  • For Serving:
  • 2 flatbreads I used @mydelikitchen
  • 25 g stuffing
  • A handful of Brussels sprouts
  • 2 slices of streaky bacon
  • Gravy & cranberry sauce

Instructions
 

  • Marinate the Chicken
    In a bowl, mix the yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, rosemary, oregano, and a pinch of salt. Coat the chicken well and let it sit for at least 10 minutes. If you have extra time, marinate for longer—it only gets better!
  • Cook the Chicken
    Preheat your grill (or oven at 400°F/200°C).) Place the marinated chicken under the grill and cook for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Once done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  • Make the Chips
    Cut the potatoes into thin slices—no need to peel them! Spray with low-calorie cooking spray and toss with roast potato seasoning. Cook in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 25 minutes, shaking halfway. If using an oven, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 30 minutes.
  • Assemble the Gyros
    Warm up the flatbreads and load them with the sliced chicken. Add stuffing, crispy Brussels sprouts, and streaky bacon. Drizzle with gravy and cranberry sauce for a festive touch!

Notes

  • Don’t skip the marinating step! The yogurt helps tenderize the chicken and adds so much flavor.
  • Make sure to let the chicken rest before slicing—it helps keep the juices inside.
  • Shake the air fryer basket halfway to ensure the chips cook evenly and get that perfect crispiness.
