Chicken Gyros with Tzatiki Sauce

The chicken can either be grilled or pan seared. We always grill it if it's summertime.  This is super fresh and tasty.


Chicken Gyro Ingredients:
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 2 t red wine vinegar
  • 2 Tb evoo
  • 1 Tb dried oregano
  • 1 package skinless, boneless chicken breasts - cut into a strips 
  • 6 (6 inch) pita bread rounds 
  • 2 diced tomatoes
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced 
  • 1/2 head iceberg lettuce, chopped
  • 1 container feta cheese


Tzatiki Sauce Ingredients:
  • 8 oz plain greek yogurt
  • 1 Tb lemon juice
  • 1/2 t salt
  • 1/4 t pepper
  • 1 Tb fresh dill
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 finely chopped cucumber

Prepare tzatiki first. Combine all Tzatiki ingredients in a small bowl and cover and pop in the fridge.

Whisk together 4 cloves minced garlic, juice from 1 lemon, red wine vinegar, 2 Tb evoo and oregano in a large bowl. Stir in chicken strips and toss to evenly coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in fridge for 2 hours.

When finished marinating, either grill chicken or pan sear, covered for 10 minutes or until juices run clear. 

Serve pita topped with chicken strips, tzatiki, lettuce, tomato, red onion and feta cheese.
