Chicken Gyros

So I stumbled upon tonight's recipes while looking up baklava recipes...and decided what the heck I love gyros and it looked pretty easy! Well I have decided that looks at times can be a bit deceiving. This recipe takes a bit of time and planning but I have to say it is worth it! I learned how to make homemade flat bread and tzatziki sauce which I am super excited about! So go me!! I have to say all the ingredients were easy to find..I have a mini herb garden so I try to use as much fresh as I can.

Anyways...tonight's dish is from our friends at cookingclassy.com

Now as I said this recipe does take some time and preparation....

First step is to get the marinate made for the chicken, which the prep took me about 10 mins and than marinated the chicken for 4 hrs. Now I put slits in my chicken to help get the flavors into the meat.

After marinating for 4hrs I used my indoor grill since I was just completely lazy to get the outdoor grill up and ready. But the chicken came out fabulous on this!

 

 

Now while I was waiting for the chicken to marinate I made my tzakziki. This took maybe 40 mins since 30 of it you have to let your cucumbers absorb salt but after that everything just gets thrown into the food processor and gets blended up into a rich wonderful sauce! And make sure you put it in the fridge for 4hrs to help thickening up a bit.

 

 

 

 

 

Now check it out...the flat bread! This took me about 15 mins to make the dough and an hr and a half for the dough to rise. Than just rolled the dough into equal size dough balls..take your rolling pin flatten them out into circles(or close to circles) pull out your skillet and cook your flat bread. Super easy and so really good!

 

 

Once everything is done, baked, cooked or whatever put whatever tasty toppings you want on it and enjoy! I added fries as our side since it was something simple. My guys give it 2 thumbs up and are looking forward to leftovers tomorrow for lunch!
