Ok, I know that you can't technically make a gyro with chicken, but I didn't know what else to call it. :) It's really good - kids and adults liked it.
Chicken:
2 t minced garlic
2-3 T lemon juice
1 t vinegar
2 T oil (olive is nice but canola works too)
2 heaping T plain greek yogurt
1 1/2 t ground oregano (or 1 T dried)
salt and pepper
3 chicken breasts (cut in half butterful-style)
Tzatziki Sauce:
1 c plain greek yogurt
1 regular cucumber, peeled and seeded
1 t minced garlic
1 t vinegar
salt and pepper
dash lemon juice
drizzle oil (olive is good, but canola works too)
Pita (about 8)
fresh tomatoes, seeded and diced
red onion, sliced thin
lettuce, shredded or chopped
Mix all but the chicken together in the bowl. Add chicken and make sure it coats evenly. Refrigerate overnight (or at least 1 hour if you don't have time).
Shred cucumber in a food processor. Place in a paper towel and drain water. Mix sauce ingredients in a small bowl and refrigerate at least 30 mins. (this is important). If you don't like cucumber, leave it out and it will still taste pretty good (I make half each way for my family).
Cook chicken as desired: bake, broil, grill, pan-fry, etc. Until cooked through. Let site for 5 minutes, then slice to desired thickness (1/4-1/2 inch).
Serve "taco style" - add sauce, chicken, veggies to pita and eat it up!!
