Chicken Gyro

*Greek Chicken in a Pita (so yummy!)

Juice of a lime or lemon

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 clove garlic, peeled
1 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup mint or cilantro leaves
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, Sliced into thin strips
1 cup plain yogurt

1/2 cucumber, peeled and chopped
2 tablespoons chopped mint
1 tomato, chopped
Mixed lettuce leaves
4 pitas with pockets

Directions

In a blender combine juice, 1 tablespoon oil, garlic, coriander, cumin, salt and pepper and mint or
cilantro leaves. Process until smooth and pour over chicken to marinate. Refrigerate chicken and allow
to marinate for 30 minutes. In a small bowl stir together yogurt, cucumber and chopped mint.
In a large skillet heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high heat. Add marinated chicken and cook
for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Heat pitas under a broiler or in a toaster oven. Slice open pitas
and stuff with chicken, tomatoes, lettuce and top with yogurt dressing. Serve immediately. (I personally
don’t like the yogurt sauce! I also serve it with caesar dressing in the pita.) Foodnetwork.com
Serve it with a spinach salad.
