Ingredients for the chicken gyros:

-4 garlic cloves, smashed

- juice of 1 lemon 

-2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

-2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

-2 heaping tablespoons plain yogurt

-1 tablespoon dried oregano

-salt & pepper to taste

-1 1/4 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts cubed

-serve on pita bread with tomatoes, onions, & ect toppings you'd like.

Mix all of the above ingredients in a bowl & mix. Add the raw cubed chicken & let it marinade in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Then when you are ready throw the whole mix into a frying pan & cook until most of the juice is evaporated & the chicken is cooked through. 

Ingredients for Tzatziki sauce:

-3 cups Greek plain yogurt

-juice of 1 lemon(about 3 T)

-1 garlic clove chopped

-2 medium cucumbers seeded & diced

-1 tbs kosher salt for salting cucumbers

-1 tbs finely chopped fresh dill

-salt & pepper to taste

Peel cucumbers, then cut in half length wise & take a small spoon & scrape out seeds. Discard seeds. Slice cucumbers then put in a colander, sprinkle 1 tbs salt & let stand for 30 min to draw out water. Drain well & wipe dry with paper towel.

In food processor add cucumbers, garlic, lemon juice, dill & a black pepper. Process until well blended. Then stir the mixture into the yogurt. Add salt if needed. Place in refrigerator for at least two hours before serving so flavors can blend. (This resting process is very important)

I loved this recipe & I seriously LOVE Tzatziki sauce! Enjoy!
