Marinated Chicken Gyro Wraps
We developed our sandwich-making skills back in the Bag Lady days with Mama. This is one of our more recent favorites.
Ingredients:
CHICKEN:
1 1⁄2 pounds chicken cutlets, cut into 1-inch-long fingers
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
3 ⁄4 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
YOGURT-DILL SAUCE:
1 cup Greek yogurt or plain yogurt
1⁄4 cup finely chopped red onion
1 to 2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1⁄2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 pita wraps, warm
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 cup chopped tomato
1⁄2 cup sliced cucumber
Instructions:
In a large bowl, place the chicken, oil, 1 clove garlic, oregano, cumin, and salt and pepper to taste; toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
In a small bowl, stir together the Yogurt-Dill Sauce ingredients. Chill until ready to use.
Preheat the broiler. Spread the chicken on a baking sheet. Broil 6 inches from heat about 8 minutes or until cooked through.
To serve, spread each pita with some of the Yogurt-Dill Sauce. Divide the chicken, lettuce, tomato, and cucumber evenly among the pitas. If desired, top with additional sauce.
