Greek Chicken Gyros in the Oven

No grill? No problem! This oven-baked chicken gyros recipe gives you all the flavor of classic Greek gyros without needing a rotisserie. I make it often with chicken breasts, a bold marinade, and a clever stacking trick using skewers.

Note: This version uses a slightly richer blend of spices than what you'd usually find in ready-made gyros (which often rely mostly on salt, oregano, and garlic) — but the result is way more flavorful!

Skordalia (Greek Garlic-Potato Puree)

[Updated 20/03/2025]

A creamy, garlicky potato puree, this traditional Greek side dish is rich in olive oil and garlic. It pairs wonderfully with Crispy Greek Cod (Bakaliaros Skordalia) (fried cod with garlic-potato puree), a dish especially enjoyed on Greece's National Day, March 25th.
