Chicken Gyros

Hello fellow bloggers.

Last night my family tried some chicken gyros. I LOVE gyros. Especially the tasty sauce that goes on them. I have been really wanting some gyros lately but I'm too cheap to go buy one & too lazy to make them. I have a recipe in a Pampered Chef cookbook to make the gyro meat. So, when I was browsing Pinterest & came across a chicken gyro recipe, I was excited to try it. Prepwork was fairly simple. I'd say it's not easy, but it is in no means difficult. Just took a little extra prep work. I'd say about 20 - 30 min. Less if you get all your stuff out ahead of time, which I did not do this time around. I also have a 2 year old that loves to get into things when I am busy.....
Anyway, all you need is:

Tzatziki sauce:

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1 regular cucumber, peeled and seeded

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1 teaspoon white wine vinegar

Salt and pepper

Squeeze of fresh lemon juice

Extra virgin olive oil

For the chicken:

2 teaspoons minced garlic

Juice of 1 lemon (2-3 Tablespoons)

2 teaspoons red wine vinegar

2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 heaping Tablespoons plain Greek yogurt

1 Tablespoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper

1 1/4 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Tomoato slices & red onion slices for topping.  

 

I did not have red wine vinegar so I substituted for the white. I also do not like onion so I chose to not put onions on mine.

 

I think it had good flavor. The Tzatziki sauce was a bit "dry". It left my mouth feeling dry. I think it's all that cucumber minced up in it. Maybe less cucumber would help? IDK. I would definitely eat this again. My hubby however wasn't a fan. So, that makes 2 meals this week I have tried & he has not liked. Usually he loves my cooking so this is new to me to disappoint. But, I say it isn't my fault, I didn't create these recipes. :)

 

like my fancy dishes?

 

 

Well, that's that. Tonight I shall try yet another new recipe. You can find this recipe over HERE on The Girl Who Ate Everything.
