Chicken Gyros for 2

Time: 25 mins

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3/4 teaspoon garlic, minced- divided use
• 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1/2 inch strips
• 1/2 cup cucumber, chopped
• 1/3 cup nonfat yogurt, plain or 1/3 cup low-fat yogurt
• 1/4 teaspoon dill weed
• 2 gyro bread or 2 pita bread
• 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced

Directions

• 1 Combine lemon juice, oil, 1/2 t of the garlic, mustard and oregano in a gallon zip top plastic bag.
• 2 Add chicken and seal bag.
• 3 Turn bag and gently move chicken around to distribute marinade evenly.
• 4 Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
• 5 In a small bowl combine cucumber, yogurt, dill and remaining garlic. Cover and refrigerate until serving. (NOTE: Cucumbers have a lot of moisture in them so if you want your sauce to be less runny really drain them well and squeeze the water out if you want.).
• 6 Drain chicken, discarding marinade.
• 7 In a large nonstick skillet saute the chicken for 7-8 minutes or until juices run clear.
• 8 Spoon half the chicken on each pita and top with cucumber mixture and sliced onion.
• 9 Lettuce and tomato may be added if you like.
• 10 Fold in half and enjoy.
