Chef’s Insight

To add a burst of color and flavor, garnish with fresh parsley or dill sprigs.

Notes

Be sure to let the chicken rest after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful meat.

Cultural or Historical Background

Gyros originated in Greece and are a popular street food made from seasoned meat, typically served in pita bread with various toppings. This Paleo version replaces the pita bread with lettuce leaves for a gluten-free and healthier option.
