So the title of this post is a bit of a mouthful but honestly, you won't be thinking about that when you eat up these chicken gyros with dairy free tzatziki sauce! This is hands down one of my favorite recipes. There is a place down the road that I love to door dash in the middle of the night that has AMAZING chicken gyros. This recipe though might beat it. Same amazing gyro and tzatziki flavor, but this recipe makes it gluten free and dairy free.
Dairy Free Tzatziki Sauce
Chicken gyros are one of my all time favorite foods. I just love the flavors! However, whenever we go out we usually don't wind up getting them because it's never gluten free or dairy free in store. At home though, they are just as amazing with this easy recipe.

Tzatziki sauce is one of the best things there is. It goes so well with everything, is healthy, and umm have I mentioned is delicious? Traditionally, tzatziki sauce is made with yogurt, but in my recipe we use coconut milk. This worked better than I even thought it would. The result is definitely a sauce and not a thick dip like yogurt might give you. It is perfect for dipping veggies, though, and even more perfect for drowning your salads and gyros in.
One can of full fat coconut milk, preferably the Thai Kitchen brand, which is my new obsession, a cucumber, lemon juice, garlic, and salt and pepper. That's all it takes. It is so rich, creamy, and easy to make (be right back- drooling). I used my blender to blend it all together getting it really well combined and breaking up the cucumber very easily.
Easy Chicken Gyros
The chicken part of this meal could not be more easy. Only 4 spices and you have a delicious aromatic and flavor packed chicken. I used seasoned salt, chili powder, cumin, and dried parsley flakes.

Cook your chicken pieces with olive oil and these spices up in a pan until they are done through. I like to cut my chicken bite size first to really get that seasoning all over as well as help it cook faster and easier.
Gluten Free Gyro Lettuce Wraps
You can definitely use this recipe in some soft and chewy pita bread instead of lettuce wraps. But, if you are gluten free like we are, lettuce wraps or even all together in a lettuce bowl works super well instead.
We like to use either romaine lettuce for these or some butter lettuce works too. Whatever you have available or whatever you like better.

To top your chicken gyros, we love things like red onions, tomatoes, olives, fresh green peppers, avocados, and of course your dairy free tzatziki sauce you just made!
