Chicken Gyros with Oikos Greek Yogurt Dressing

I marinated 10 chicken tenders all day in these fabulous ingredients:
  • juice from 1 lemon
  • 1 1/2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp marjoram
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • cracked pepper
Then, I placed it on the grill to cook.

For the dressing I used:

  • 1 cup of Oikos Greek Yogurt
  • 1/2 cucumber, peeled and grated
  • 1/2 tsp minced garlic1/2 tsp oregano
  • pinch of dill
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
First, squeeze as much water out of your cucumber as you can, a paper towel works great for this. Next, place all over your ingredients into a bowl and stir to combine. Place in the fridge for at least an hour to allow the flavors to come together nicely.

Place chicken on a piece of warmed flat bread and garnish with grated cucumber, diced tomato, leaf lettuce, sliced green onion, and dressing.

I made potatoes brushed with olive oil and sprinkled with a mixture of kosher salt, paprika, oregano, onion powder, and cracked pepper as a side accompaniment. I placed them in a 425 degree oven to cook and then finished them under the broiler to brown them just a touch more.

This was a terrific meal! I hope you will give it a try!
