Directions
Chicken Gyros, I’ve had this recipe for years and make this on a regular basis It’s pretty healthy and easy to make It’s a good lunch item or an easy weeknight meal This is not a fancy meal by any means It is just a good basic recipe to have on rotation The original recipe came from a small cookbook you get in the check-out lane at the grocery store I think the name of the book was Quick & Healthy Cooking , Loved this recipe thanks for posting!!!, I love gyros and these were absolutley delicious The marinade was very simple but gives the chicken such a wonderful flavor, I wish I would of had fresh oregano but I had run out so had to use the dried Next time I would dice the cucumber even smaller to give a more smoother texture and I had used greek yogurt (my favorite for this) But the flavor was outstanding for the dip, I had actually made the dip the night before so the flavors could blend and it turned out great This is a very quick meal to assemble so it is fantastic to have during the week Makes for a very satisfying meal I will be making this again often Thanks so much for sharing Northern Cook

Heat Oil in a Large Nonstick Skillet Over Medium High Heat. Add the Chicken and Cook Until It Is Lightly Browned on Both Sides and Cooked Through, About 10 to 15 Minutes. **or** Grill Chicken Breasts Over Open Flame For About 4-5 Minutes Per Side. I Always Grill My Chicken and It Turns Out Great. Transfer Chicken to a Cutting Board and Cut Into Thin 2-Inch Long Strips. |
