Jam, you say?! In a chicken dinner?! Whatever will he think of next? Like you, I was a wee bit doubtful about this idea at the start. I took some convincing, but I’m glad I tried it. And you’ll feel the same. Get stuck right into this twist-on-a-Greek-classic-that-I-hope-doesn’t-offend-anyone. It’s delicious. There’s a colleague in the office whose getting on your nerves? Cook this, wave it in their beak, then tell them they’re not getting any. Lunch envy guaranteed.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Place the chips in the air fryer, sprinkle them with 1 tablespoon of the peri-peri seasoning (if cooking for 2) and spray them with 8–10 sprays of the cooking oil. Cook the chips at 200°C for 20 minutes, shaking occasionally.

Step 2

Coat the chicken in the remaining peri-peri seasoning, spray with the remaining cooking oil and cook in the air fryer at 190°C for 17 minutes.

Step 3

With 5 minutes of the cooking time left, brush the chicken with 2 tablespoons of the chilli jam (if cooking for 2) and continue cooking in the air fryer.

Step 4

With 3 minutes of the cooking time left, brush the halloumi with the remaining chilli jam and place in the air fryer with the chicken.

Step 5

Meanwhile, combine all the ingredients for the tzatziki sauce (the yoghurt, lemon, cucumber and mint) in a small bowl and mix well.

Step 6

When ready to assemble the gyros, spread some of the tzatziki sauce on each flatbread, then add the rocket, chicken, chips, halloumi and spring onions. Fold the flatbreads over and drizzle on any remaining tzatziki sauce.
