Lemon Chicken Gyros with Tzatziki and Feta

Ingredients:
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon McCormack® Peppercorn Medley
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 16 oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
  • Feta
  • Chopped lettuce
  • Tzatziki Sauce
  • Gyro Flatbread
  • Lettuce
  • Onions (optional)
  • Tomatos (optional)

Directions:

In a small bowl, whisk together the oregano, thyme, garlic, pepper, lemon juice, and olive oil.  Put the chicken in a wide, shallow bowl, cover with the marinade, toss thoroughly to coat well, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Remove the chicken from the bowl and saute in a large frying pan for about 5 minutes per side, until the pieces are no longer pink in the center.  Set on a plate and cover with foil.

Cook the gyro flatbread.  Slather tzatkiki sauce on the flatbread.  Add chicken, feta, lettuce, and optional ingredients.


Myrtle's Note:  I did not like the sauce the cook had on this particular recipe, so I used one from another.  However, the marinade was fantastic!  Suggested sides are Labneh and Baba Ganoush.

Yield:  4
