Chicken Gyros and Tzatziki Sauce Recipe

Garlicky, oregano-laced,  chicken strips are piled on a pita, sauced with a classic yogurt Tzatziki, and garnished with chopped fresh veggies. I been putting off making pitas for a long time. Finally I decided to make em and these were a hit at my house. Kids really loved it! This Tzatziki Sauce is so good, I been adding it to my salads now. These are so easy to make. If you never made gyros, this is the time to make em.



     For pitas you will need:     
                                      
3 Pita breads
3 leafs of  Romaine lettuce
1 Tomato cubed
1/2 Sweet vidalia onion, thinly sliced
Cilantro {optional}
Tzatziki sauce {recipe included}

     Chicken recipe:
1 1/2 cup grilled chicken breasts strips
2 tsp garlic, minced
1 tsp oregano {dried}
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/3 tsp ground coriander
2 tsp butter for saute

     Tzatziki Sauce:
1 cup cucumber, finely chopped
1/2 cup greek yogurt
1/3 cup sour cream
2 tsp lemon juice
3-4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp fresh minced dill
1/4 teaspoon salt

                             

I used Costco pita bread.

To make the sauce: Peel cucumbers and mince em.

Mix all of the ingredients together and let sit for at least 30 min to hour before using

To make chicken: Melt butter in the skillet. Add chicken and heat it up. 

Add minced garlic.

Add oregano, cumin and coriander. Saute for 2 min.

Slice onion and cube the tomatoes.

Warm up 3 pita breads. Layer with the lettuce, chicken, tomato, red onion and tzatziki sauce.

Wrap it in foil or a paper towel.

Enjoy!!!
