My slow cooker chicken gyros have become my ultimate go-to recipe for when I want to make something for a crowd. You can literally never go wrong. People seem to like them, plus they really are the perfect thing to make for parties.

Chicken gyros taste amazing on pita bread or naan. You can also use them delicious, perfectly seasoned meat on a salad or in a chicken gyro quesadilla.

So anyway, since I literally only make my chicken gyros in my Instant Pot, I thought it was about time for me to actually show you how to make them in my Instant Pot! The ingredient list on this is actually the same as my slow cooker version. It’s a super easy recipe too. You dump the ingredients in the pot and let it do its magic!

I made this video to show you how easy this recipe truly is!

Here are the ingredients you need to make these Chicken Gyros

Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts- You can also try this recipe with skinless chicken thighs. 

Olive Oil

Lemons or Lemon juice

Red Wine Vinegar

Red Onion

Garlic Cloves

Dried Oregano

Greek Yogurt

Greek Seasoning

Dried Dill

Salt and Pepper

Water or Chicken Broth

Gyro toppings you will want o to have on hand: include onion, cucumber, lettuce, tomatoes, feta cheese, homemade Tzatziki sauce, and kalamata olives.

How to Make Instant Pot Chicken Gyros 

1. Place, olive oil, lemon juice, dill, Greek Seasoning, red wine vinegar, and Greek Yogurt into the bottom of the Instant Pot. 

2. Close and lock lid, rotate the pressure release valve to “sealing,” and set the Instant Pot’s manual timer button to 15 minutes.  Pressure Cook

3. While the chicken is cooking, make tzatziki sauce in a bowl. 

4. Let the pressure naturally release. Open the lid And let out the remaining pressure 

5. Shred chicken with a fork 

Not only do I love these chicken gyros. I also pretty much love anything that has a spoonful of Tzatziki sauce and kalamata olives on top it. So many wonderful flavors were mouthwatering.

I also love making this recipe for parties because it is really something different to make. It is such a different dish than the usual “pulled pork” you see at get-togethers a lot in the Midwest. But at the same time, it is not so different that picky eaters won’t try it.

This recipe works great for many meal prep dishes.  This meal is high in protein and fiber and low in sodium, calories, and cholesterol.

Note: I have had a ton of you ask about what Greek Seasoning I use. I use Cavender’s Greek Seasoning

It is different and your friends and family will love it!
