I LOVE gyros. When I was pregnant with my son, this was the one thing that I really craved. However, my family isn't big into lamb, so I wanted a chicken alternative. This recipe is a fabulous option for the non-lamb gyro lover!!
Ingredients:
- 1 Pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into strips.
- 1/4 Cup Lemon juice
- 2 tsp Vinegar
- 2 TB Olive oil
- 1 TB Dried oregano
- 3 Cloves garlic, minced
- Pita Bread
- Tzatziki Sauce (See Below)
- Optional: Diced tomato, minced red onion, shredded lettuce.
1. Combine Lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil, oregano, and garlic and mix well. Pour over the chicken strips and toss to coat. Cover container and allow to sit in the fridge for about 1 hour.
2. Once the chicken has marinated, heat a medium fry pan over medium-high eat. Add chicken to the pan and cook until lightly browned and fully cooked.
3. Serve on warm pita bread (Microwave for about 25 seconds) with Tzatziki sauce. My family likes ours plain, but you can also top the gyro with tomato, red onion, and lettuce.
Tzatziki Sauce Ingredient:
1 (16 oz) container Greek Yogurt.
1 Small cucumber peeled and shredded
3/4 tsp Dried Dill
3/4 tsp Dried Thyme
2 Cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp Vinegar
1 tsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
1. Combine all ingredients and mix well.
2. Allow to sit in the fridge for about 1 hour.
