A delightful recipe for Chicken Gyro served with creamy sweet potatoes, perfect for a quick meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Pita bread and toppings (optional)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken thighs with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Place seasoned chicken in the Instant Pot and pour in the chicken broth.
  3. Close the lid and set the valve to sealing. Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes, then allow for a natural release for 5 minutes before a quick release.
  4. While the chicken cooks, place cubed sweet potatoes in a separate pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until tender. Drain and return to pot.
  5. Remove chicken from the Instant Pot and shred it using two forks.
  6. Mash the sweet potatoes with Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  7. To serve, place sweet potato mash on a plate, top with shredded chicken, and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with pita bread and toppings like cucumber, tomato, and tzatziki sauce.

Notes

  • Adjust spices according to personal preference.
  • Feel free to add additional toppings as desired.
  • For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken seasoning.
