Description

This recipe is so easy and versatile that it’s hard to come up with exact measurements for ingredients. Very customizable to your own tastes, and DELICIOUS!

Ingredients

  • 1 package Pre-made Or Homemade Naan (One Piece Per Gyro)
  • 4 dashes Cavender's Greek Seasoning
  • 2 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • ½ cups Feta
  • ¼ cups Chopped Greek Olives
  • FOR THE TZATZIKI:
  • 1 whole Cucumber
  • 6 ounces, fluid Plain Greek Yogurt (make Sure It's Greek Yogurt!)
  • ½ Tablespoons Minced Garlic
  • 1 Tablespoon Chopped Fresh Dill
  • 1 pinch Salt And Pepper

Preparation

Let me preface this by saying that you can add as much or as little of the ingredients as you like. Want it more garlicky? Throw some more in! More olives? Pile em on! You could probably even do it with thinly sliced beef instead of chicken! Seriously, feel free to adjust it to your tastes.

To make the tzatziki sauce:

1. Peel cucumbers.
2. Slice cucumbers in half lengthwise and scoop out all the seeds.
3. Dice cucumbers.
4. Combine diced cucumbers, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, chopped fresh dill, salt and pepper in a bowl.

It tastes better if you let it sit for an hour, but I’ve used it right away, and it was fine.

To make the gyros:

1. Cut chicken breasts into chunks.
2. Season chicken with Greek seasoning.
3. Cook chicken on the stove.
4. When chicken is almost done cooking, stick the naan in the oven to warm/toast for a minute or so.
5. When naan is heated and chicken is done, assemble gyros as follows: place chicken in the middle of the naan, then the tzatziki on it, then the feta, then the chopped Greek olives.
6. Roll it up tight! Tin foil is a big help in rolling it tight and keeping it together while you’re eating it. Imagine you’re at a carnival! Or a New York street fair!

Honestly, I’ve been a little obsessed with this recipe lately. I can’t stop craving it and making it all over again! It’s just so easy and tasty. I hope you enjoy it!

I made this for myself, trying to find an acceptable substitute for my favorite restaurant.

It was okay, I blended the materials for the tzatziki sauce to make it more traditional. It was great!

I also added some lettuce and hummus (just to try to replicate my favorite).
