Chicken Gyros and Tzatziki Sauce Recipe
CookingAddic 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

- 1/2 cup greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 2 tsp lemon juice

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.
