Hi, I'm Danelle and this is where I dish about my favorite recipes. I focus on simple, family friendly fare and try to make feeding the family a little bit easier for everyone.
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/2 cup balsamic vinager
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
4 large pita bread rounds
1 heart of romaine lettuce, cut into 1/4 inch slices
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 tomato, sliced
1/2 cup olives
1/2 cup sliced pepperoncini or jalepenos
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 cup Tzatziki sauce
Directions
In a small bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, oregano, basil, salt and pepper. Place chicken in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour marinade over the chicken. Seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and place on prepared grill. Discard remaining marinade. Cook chicken until juices run clear, about 8 minutes on each side. Remove chicken from heat, and allow to sit about 10 minutes before slicing into thin strips. Place pita rounds on the grill, and cook for about 2 minutes, until warm, turning frequently to avoid burning. Stuff warmed pitas with chicken and toppings to serve.
Let's Dish
This is another one of our favorite Greek style meals. I like to serve the sandwhich fillings on the side and let everyone build their own gyro to suit their tastes. Feel free to add or omit toppings to your liking. Our favorite Greek restaurant has a spicy gyro with hot sauce and jalepenos, that we love! Sometimes, we saute the chicken on the stove-top and heat the pitas in the microwave. Whatever you do, don't skip the tzatziki sauce. You can find a recipe here.

ReplyDeletethis looks so delicious! you should link it up to my tuesday night supper club..we would love to have you!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about gyros the other night and was bummed because we don't have any Greek restaurants near by! Now I don't have to look for a place anymore I can just make em myself!
ReplyDeleteI love a tasty Gyro and this looks delicious. Glad you included the recipe for the sauce.
ReplyDeleteMmmmm...absolutely delicious! We just had some friends over the other night for our gyro twist on the ol' taco bar. I make a grilled chicken that is marinated in a yogurt lime sauce and beef marinated in indian spices and serve it up with flat breads, tzasiki, etc... Your chicken sounds wonderful. I'm going to have to give it a try next time! So glad I hopped on by from Tuesday Night Supper Club and became your newest follower! Best, Jenn/Rook No. 17
