Tried this recipe when my sister and her family were visiting last year, and they keep acting like I invented the sun. So here ya go!
Chicken Gyros with Tzatziki Sauce
2 chicken breasts, cut into strips
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon oregano {dried}
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon onion {powder}
1 teaspoon salt
In a bowl or bag, place all of the ingredients together and mix well. Marinate for up to 2 hours.
Once ready, place the chicken on a grill {even a George Foreman} or in a pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side.
Tzatziki Sauce
1 cup cucumber, finely chopped
1/2 cup greek yogurt
1/4 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon mint
1 teaspoon cilantro
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
Mix all of the ingredients together and let sit for at least 1 hour before using.
Condiments:
pita bread
lettuce
tomatoes, sliced
red onion, thinly sliced
tzatziki sauce {recipe above}
Take a piece of pita bread and layer with the lettuce, chicken, tomato, red onion and tzatziki sauce. Mmmmmm. . .
Pretty sure I found this recipe over at Basil. . .by Ashley. Thanks, Ashley!
