Description

Chicken Gyros with a yogurt dill cucumber sauce, so great for a spring meal.

Ingredients

  • ½ cups Lemon Juice
  • 4 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced, Divided
  • 1 teaspoon Mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Oregano
  • 1 pound Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, Cut Into 1/2 Strips
  • 1 cup Nonfat Greek Style Plain Yogurt
  • ½ whole English Cucumber, Diced
  • ½ teaspoons Dill Weed
  • 4 whole Pita Pockets, Good Quality So They Are Easy To Open, Heated
  • 4 whole Romaine Lettuce Leaves
  • ½ whole Red Onion, Thinly Sliced (optional)

Preparation

Combine lemon juice, olive oil, 1 clove garlic, mustard, oregano and chicken in a Ziploc bag. Turn bag to coat chicken evenly. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Combine yogurt, cucumber, dill and the remaining clove of garlic. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Drain chicken and discard marinade. In a large skillet saute chicken for about 8 minutes until golden and cooked through. Cut pitas in half and open. Place a quarter of the chicken mixture inside and top with the yogurt sauce, lettuce and red onion if using. Enjoy!

With a couple of little changes these are perfect – at least in my household. I added about 1/4 mayo to the sauce to cut the sour yogurt taste a bit and next time I’ll serve it on rice (or get better pitas). To make mine gluten-free, I had it in a GF wrap instead of the pita.
