EASY CHICKEN GYROS & TZATZIKI SAUCE
Quick Greek-style chicken gyros you can whip up on busy nights in just 20 minutes, these are a family favorite!
Yesterday was Indian, today it’s Greek… we’re all over the place with dinners this week. I don’t know why but lately I’ve been craving anything but a burger. I want bold fun flavors from around the world. My mood for these gyros was most likely prompted by the ah-mazing meal we had in D.C. last week.
Ingredients
4 chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
1 tablespoon mediterranean seasoning (you can substitute Italian seasoning in a pinch)
1 red pepper, thinly sliced
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
4 pitas (this is a Greek-style flatbread you can find at almost any grocery store near the bread and tortillas or in the bakery)
optional: lettuce, feta cheese crumbles
Tzatziki Sauce
1/2 English cucumber, peeled and diced
2 cups cold plain Greek yogurt
4 teaspoons minced garlic
1/3 cup 1/3 cup chopped dill, fresh or frozen (may sub 2 tablespoons dried dill)
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (juice of 1/2 medium lemon)
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
