A quick and easy delicious Healthy Chicken Gyro recipe. You can either stuff the ingredients into a pita or make a yummy Greek salad. Gyros make a great lunch or dinner!
You remember my Pita Bread recipe don’t you? The one that had me high fiving myself and doing a happy dance? I made those pitas so I could make this delicious Chicken Gyro recipe. Talk about an easy peasy dinner!
I don’t know what exactly goes into that cone of meat that you see in Greek restaurants. It’s delicious, but maybe I am better off not knowing. So, when Debbie of The Mountain Kitchen posted her Chicken Gyros, I knew that we would love them. We often go out for gyros for lunch on our summer Saturdays. They don’t leave us feeling heavy or in a food coma.
Debbie prepared her Gyros in 30 minutes. I had a little more time so in addition to marinating the vegetables as she did, I also marinated my chicken for a little longer. Debbie had said the longer the better. The other change that I made was her dressing calls for an equal amount of vinegar to oil. I used 1/2 part vinegar to 1 part oil. Lastly, I had some tzatziki that I put inside my pita before adding the ingredients. I’m writing up my recipe instructions, but please visit Debbie for a look at all of her amazing recipes.

I'm loving this, Julie, especially with your home-made pita! I've found it pretty hard to find good fresh pita bread in some areas. I've made my own before but was never quite happy with them so I'm looking forward to trying yours.
Thanks for sharing with us on Throwback Thursday!
