Chicken Gyros With Cucumber Salsa and Tsatsiki, Gourmet March 2009 Posting this for ZWT 6 Greece , Tasty! Easy version, using roasted chicken Really nice and quite authentic tasting used a lot more lemon, drizzling it all over the chicken as well, as tossing it in the oil , Nice! I liked the fact that the salsa and tsatsiki were made and added separately (made it prettier), and the fact that the bread was flavored first and then warmed under the broiler (gave the bread a nice crunch and taste) I added a bit of feta to the salsa, used less oil, left out the parsley and used vegetarian chicken strips instead of real chicken because we are vegetarians Thank you!
