Gyro is (are?) so good. I love everything about them. The soft warm bread, the simple seasoned chicken, that yummy sauce! Lets start with the sauce...
8 oz plain yogurt, traditional or greek (if you like it thicker)
1 cucmber
Wash and peel the cucumber then slice it into rounds. Lay the rounds on a paper towel and top with another paper towel. Press the towel into the cucumbers and let sit for at least 20 minutes. Chop the cucumbers well, reserve some for topping if desired, add to the yogurt. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic. Let chill for 20 minutes.
Filling:
1 chicken breast per person
lettuce
tomato
red onion
Pita Bread
While the sauce is chilling season your chicken to taste. I like salt, pepper, garlic and oregano. You can pan fry the chicken, bake it or grill it. I used my indoor grill. When the chicken is fully cooked set it aside to cool and let the juices redistribute. Place pita breads in the oven on the warm setting. Cut romaine, tomatoes and red onion and anything else you would like on your gyro. Chop up the chicken.
To assemble lay a pita flat and spoon on some of the yogurt sauce. Top with chicken and any veggies you prefer, add more sauce and roll it or fold it and enjoy it!
