These gyros are my husband's new favourite food - he could seriously eat them every day. I recommend serving them with my lemon-dill rice & greek salad. You can substitute pork loin for chicken, if desired.
Chicken Marinade:
4 cloves garlic, smashed
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tsp. red wine vinegar
2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
2 heaping tbsp. plain yogurt
1 tbsp. dried oregano
Salt and pepper
1 1/4 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into large bite-sized piece
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tsp. red wine vinegar
2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
2 heaping tbsp. plain yogurt
1 tbsp. dried oregano
Salt and pepper
1 1/4 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into large bite-sized piece
Extras: Greek pitas, red onion, tzatziki sauce, diced tomatoes, wooden skewers
Directions: Soak wooden skewers in water. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Pour over chicken and let marinate for at least one hour, preferably 2-3. Remove chicken and thread onto wooden skewers. Broil in oven or bake at 350F for approximately 20 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink.

Hey Kelly
ReplyDeleteI have a great home made recipe for tzatziki. I don't have exact measurements... its kind of "to-taste" recipe ;)
-Plain Yogurt, the single cups are a great portion. I find it's usually more then enough!
-Cucumber, you can use a cheese grader, or you can use a knife.
-Clove of garlic, I use a press but chopped small will work too.
-Chopped fresh dill.
It's best to use less ingredients in to the mix and taste it as you go. some people like it really garlicky, some people don't.
