Chicken Gyros for 2 Recipe #141367
Tender marinated chicken and a creamy cucumber yogurt sauce tucked into a pita, topped with lettuce and tomato if you like. Sounds like a great lunch to me! Cooked in or outside! Note: time to make does NOT include 1 hour marinating time. from TOH... ZWT Greek and US Regional - East Coast

- Turn bag and gently move chicken around to distribute marinade evenly.

- Spoon half the chicken on each pita and top with cucumber mixture and sliced onion.
