Greek Chicken Gyros


Traditionally made with lamb, these chicken gyros are easy and as quick as taco night!
Stir fry the following in a wok or skillet that has been heated up with 2 T. olive oil:
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, chopped in bite size pieces
1 t. dried oregano
1 t. dried basil
1/2 t. ground sea salt
1/2 t. ground black pepper
1 T. minced garlic
Prepare the condiments:
Chopped tomatoes
Chopped lettuce
Chopped red onion
Crumbled feta cheese
Tzatziki Sauce
Hummus

This is recipe for tzatziki, but many grocers now carry ready made tzatziki sauce.
Combine:
2 cups plain, Greek yogurt
1 cucumber, thinly sliced and quartered
 1 T. lemon juice
1 T. fresh dill, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Use purchased naan bread, a soft flat bread, to fill your gyros.  I warm each naan bread in a dry, hot skillet on each side to make a tiny bit crisp on outside and warm and soft on the inside.  Fill bread like a taco with all the yummy condiments listed above and enjoy!
