This yummy chicken gyro recipe is a cinch to prepare. Just take tender chicken, coat it in a creamy cucumber-yogurt sauce, then tuck it into pita pockets. Some folks like lettuce and diced tomato on top. —Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Ingredients
Instructions
Combine the lemon juice, olive oil, 1/2-teaspoon minced garlic, mustard, and oregano in a large resealable plastic bag and mix it together. Slice chicken into 1/2-inch strips and place them into the bag. Seal the bag closed and shake to incorporate the chicken and marinade. Place in the refrigerator for at least one hour or overnight.
In a small bowl, combine the grated cucumber, yogurt, dill, and remaining garlic. Mix well to combine all the ingredients thoroughly. Cover and place the sauce in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Place a large skillet over medium heat until hot. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it in the hot skillet, taking care to position each slice onto the pan's surface. Cook the chicken, stirring occasionally, for seven to eight minutes until lightly browned on all sides and cooked all the way through. Place several slices onto each pita, add sliced onions, and a healthy dollop of the tzatziki yogurt sauce. Enjoy!
