What to Serve with Chicken Gyros?

There are many options for what to serve with chicken gyros. If you want to keep it light, you can serve a simple salad or some roasted vegetables. If you’re looking for something heartier, you can pair the chicken gyros with rice, quinoa, or couscous. You could also serve them with a dipping sauce on the side.

Gyros are a delicious, nutritious way to get your protein.

Whether you’re looking for a quick, easy meal or something to feed the whole family, chicken gyros will never let you down.

But what is one to do when they’ve had their fill of chicken gyro?

Well, I’ve got some ideas!

Here are 19 foods you can serve with chicken gyros:

1. Tzatziki Sauce

Tzatziki Sauce is a great option for serving with chicken gyros.

It’s quick and easy to make, and it adds a lot of flavor and texture to the meal.

You can use Greek yogurt as your base if you have it on hand, but if not, just use regular yogurt instead.

I like to add cucumber, garlic, and lemon juice to my Tzatziki Sauce because they give it a nice zingy taste that goes well with savory dishes like chicken gyros.

You can also add dill if you’re feeling adventurous!

If you want to make your life easier, buy premade Tzatziki Sauce at the store instead of making it from scratch—they usually have it in the deli section near where they sell the pita breads and hummus dips.

2. Pita Bread

I like to use pita bread as a base for any kind of meat or vegetable dish.

I find that the pita has a nice texture that complements the meat or veggies without overpowering them, so I feel like the whole meal works together really well.

The pita also has a nice flavor that doesn’t clash with anything else in the meal, but still adds something unique.

3. Greek Yogurt

Greek yogurt is a creamy and slightly tangy treat that has been enjoyed for years in many countries around the world.

It’s especially popular in Greece, where it’s often eaten with honey and nuts or fruit as a breakfast food.

But it also makes an excellent accompaniment to savory dishes like chicken gyros.

The best part about serving Greek yogurt with your chicken gyros is how versatile it is: you can serve it plain or flavored, on its own or mixed in with other ingredients (like honey or nuts), and you can serve it warm or cold.

This means that whether you’re trying out a new recipe for the first time or if you’re preparing a meal for guests who have different tastes than yours—or even if you just want an easy way to keep things interesting at home—Greek yogurt will be there for you every step of the way!

4. Grilled Feta Cheese

Grilled feta cheese is one of my favorite foods, and I love to serve it with chicken gyros.

The two go together like peas and carrots!

Grilled feta has a wonderful flavor—it’s salty and tangy, but not too strong.

The texture is amazing—soft, creamy, and just a little bit crunchy.

It’s also quite easy to make (with the right ingredients).

5. Stuffed Tomatoes

Stuffed tomatoes are a great way to serve with chicken gyros.

They have a really pleasant texture and flavor, and they’re really easy to make.

For this recipe, you’ll need:

• 3 tomatoes
• 1/2 cup of feta cheese (crumbled)
• 1/2 cup of chopped onion
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• salt and pepper to taste.

Here’s how to do it:

1. First, core your tomatoes by cutting off the tops with a paring knife and scooping out the insides with a spoon.
2. Next, mix together your feta cheese, chopped onion, olive oil and salt and pepper until well combined.
3. Fill each tomato with this mixture until it is completely covered.
4. Place the stuffed tomatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes or until they begin to brown around the edges.
5. Serve immediately!

6. Cucumbers Slices with Dip

Cucumbers are a great way to add some freshness to your meal and give it a little texture.

The dip is also super simple, so you can focus on the main dish—like chicken gyros—and feel like you’ve still made something special.

If you’re new to making cucumbers, don’t worry!

You can prepare them in less than 10 minutes.

Just make sure that the cucumber slices are thin enough so that they’ll be crunchy when dipped in the dressing (as opposed to soggy).

For extra flavor and crunch, try adding salt and pepper or lemon juice before serving!

Cucumbers are also known for being very easy to digest, so they’ll help keep everyone feeling good throughout your meal time together.

7. Stuffed Bell Peppers

The texture of these peppers is soft, but they have a lot of flavor.

The filling is savory and delicious.

You can really taste the meat and spices in each bite.

The bell pepper itself has a slight crunchiness that goes well with the softness of the filling.

The difficulty level on this recipe is medium.

It’s not hard to make these stuffed peppers, but it’s definitely not as simple as throwing everything in a pot and waiting until it’s done cooking.

You’ll need to prepare your ingredients beforehand and make sure you’re organized enough to make sure everything comes together at the right time so nothing gets overcooked or burned before it’s ready for serving.

You can use whatever ingredients you want for this recipe—there are no restrictions!

Just make sure that whatever meat you use (chicken or beef), it’s chopped into small pieces so that it cooks evenly throughout all of your bell peppers’ interiors without burning any part of them before others are ready.

8. Sauteed Onions

If you want to up your game when it comes to serving chicken gyros, I have a secret ingredient for you: sautéed onions.

You can make this delicious side dish in just a few minutes, and it will add an extra layer of flavor to your chicken gyros.

It’s also super easy to prepare, so if you’re feeling lazy this is the perfect side dish for you.

The best thing about sautéed onions is that they’re not just good with chicken gyros—they’re good with everything! If you want to spice up any meal, just add some sautéed onions on top or sprinkle them over the dish before serving.

You’ll be amazed at how much flavor they add!

9. Crispy Onion Rings

The best part about crispy onion rings is that they’re delicious on their own—they’re crunchy, salty, and full of onion flavor.

But even better than that?

They go great with chicken gyros.

You can find crispy onion rings in the frozen food section at most grocery stores.

Just pop them in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until they start to brown and crisp up.

Once they come out of the oven, you can serve them right away or put them back into the fridge until you’re ready to eat them.

You can add whatever spices you like to these onion rings—you could use some cumin or paprika, a little salt and pepper would be perfect too!

But if you want to keep things simple, just stick with salt and pepper as your seasoning.

10. French Fries

French fries have a lot of flavor and texture, depending on how you prepare them.

You can make them super crispy or soft and fluffy, depending on your preference.

And they’re easy to make at home with just a few ingredients, so you can really customize the taste to suit your own preferences.

You can also play around with different seasonings and dipping sauces.

Here’s an example:

1. Season the fries with salt and pepper.
2. Bake them until they’re golden brown (this will take about 25 minutes at 350 degrees).
3. Then top them with some ranch dressing and crushed red pepper flakes, and serve alongside the chicken gyros you already made!

11. Chips and Salsa

When you’re looking for a food that pairs well with chicken gyros, look no further than chips and salsa.

Chips are the perfect vehicle for salsa—they’re salty, crunchy, and have just enough surface area to soak up the flavor of your dip.

Salsa itself is a very versatile ingredient: it can be spicy or mild, depending on how much jalapeño you use; it can be thick or thin; it can be made from scratch or from a jar; it can even be made from vegetables other than tomatoes!

And since chips are so easy to make at home, there’s no reason not to try out different combinations until you find one that really works for you.

12. Hummus

Hummus is a delicious, healthy food that can be used with chicken gyros to create a balanced meal.

The flavor of hummus is mild, but it can be enhanced with the addition of herbs or spices.

You can also add garlic or lemon juice to give your hummus a more intense taste.

The texture of hummus is creamy, which makes it a great accompaniment for crunchy vegetables and crispy pita bread.

It’s easy to make hummus yourself at home, but you can also buy pre-made varieties from stores if you don’t have time to make it yourself.

There are many ingredients that you can use to make hummus: chickpeas (garbanzo beans), tahini paste, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic cloves and salt are some examples!

Hummus is perfect for parties because it goes well with other dips like salsa or guacamole.

It can also be served as an appetizer with crackers before dinner or lunchtime!

13. Tahini Sauce

Tahini sauce is a great choice for serving with chicken gyros.

It’s creamy and nutty, with a slight tang that offsets the tang of the yogurt in the gyros.

It also adds a bit of texture to your meal—you can mix it into the chicken before you grill it, or serve it alongside.

14. Red Cabbage Slaw

Red cabbage slaw is so easy to make, and it has so many great flavors and textures that will work perfectly with the chicken gyros’ flavors.

It’s also really good for you!

You can use any kind of red cabbage, but I prefer using red cabbage slaw mix because it comes pre-chopped and ready to go.

You just have to rinse it off, put it in a bowl, add some oil and vinegar (or lemon juice), salt and pepper (to taste), mix it up with your hands until it’s coated well, let it sit for about 10 minutes so all of the flavors meld together before serving.

This dish is super easy to make and tastes great!

It’ll go great with your chicken gyros at dinner tonight!

15. Cucumber Salad

Cucumber salad is the perfect accompaniment to any kind of gyro, but especially chicken ones.

It’s fresh and crunchy, with the perfect amount of saltiness and sweetness.

And it’s super easy to make!

All you need is some cucumbers, dill, and garlic—and maybe some salt if your cucumbers aren’t as flavorful as they could be.

You can also add vinegar or lemon juice if you like that extra-tangy flavor.

Cucumber salad goes well with chicken because it helps balance out all that richness in the meat and bread.

It also provides bright bursts of flavor that complement the spices in the gyro without overpowering them.

The texture is soft and smooth, so it won’t get stuck between your teeth (not that there’s anything wrong with that).

You can make this dish even more special by adding other ingredients like tomatoes, red onion (or shallots), croutons or bread crumbs for crunchiness, olives for saltiness and umami taste… whatever floats your boat!

16. Paprika-Spiced Yogurt Sauce

This sauce is great because it pairs well with almost any kind of meat, so whether you’re serving chicken or beef (see also: What to Serve with Beef Gyros) or lamb, this sauce is sure to please.

It also has a great texture and consistency that makes it perfect for dipping your pieces into as well as spreading on top of your meat before wrapping them up like a sandwich.

And if you’re feeling adventurous, you can even dip some veggies into it for an added crunch!

17. Grilled Bell Peppers and Onions

Bell peppers and onions are some of my favorite things to grill.

They’re easy to make, they taste great, they’re healthy, and they’re perfect for serving with chicken gyros.

The flavor of the grilled bell peppers and onions is amazing.

The sweetness of the peppers goes really well with the savory chicken gyro meat.

The texture is great too: soft but crispy at the same time (if that makes sense).

And they’re super easy to make!

You just need some bell peppers and onions, a little oil, salt, pepper, and something to grill them on (I like using my grill pan).

Just cut up your veggies into big chunks or slices, mix them together in a bowl with some oil or dressing (like ranch), sprinkle on some salt and pepper if you want, then throw them on a hot grill pan or outdoor grill—just make sure not to burn them!

18. Oven Roasted Tomatoes

Oven Roasted Tomatoes are the perfect complement to any meal, especially chicken gyros!

It’s hard to believe that something so simple can be so good.

The best part is, you can use the same oven roasted tomatoes in so many different ways.

You can add them to your salad greens, or top your favorite pasta dish with them.

You could even make a sauce to go with your chicken gyros by roasting cherry tomatoes and adding them to some fresh basil and garlic!

19. Pickled Red Onions

Pickled red onions are super easy to make, and they add a nice crunchy texture and tangy flavor to any meal.

Plus, they’re super cheap—you can get them at the grocery store or even sometimes in the produce section at the dollar store!

If you want to get fancy and make them yourself, it’s pretty simple: just cut some red onions into slices, then boil them in water until they’re soft and translucent.

Then mix them up with vinegar, salt, sugar, and whatever spices your heart desires.

Leave them out on the countertop overnight so they pickle properly!

They’re great on their own as an appetizer or snack—just serve some pita bread alongside them for dipping!

But if you want an even more flavorful experience than that (and who doesn’t?), try serving these pickled red onions with your chicken gyros for some extra excitement!
