My best tips for chicken gyros with bell peppers and mushrooms
Great side options include fluffy rice or roasted potatoes.
Instead of buying pre-seasoned chicken strips, feel free to marinate the chicken yourself!
You can also easily swap in sliced pork if you prefer classic pork gyros.
Any leftovers can easily be transformed the next day! Just transfer them into a baking dish, top with shredded cheese or crumbled feta, and bake until melted and bubbly.
Important: Be sure to store any leftovers promptly in the fridge.
Can you make chicken gyros ahead of time?
You can totally make this gyros skillet a day in advance! Just keep it stored in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
To reheat, simply transfer it to a pot or skillet and warm it over low to medium heat.
How Long Does Gyros Skillet Last?
This dish will stay fresh in the fridge for 1 to 2 days.
Since this recipe uses fresh mushrooms, you’ll want to get the leftovers into the fridge as soon as they cool down.
You should not reheat mushroom dishes more than once.
