Chicken Gyros

Taken from Elly Says Opa

1.25 lbs. chicken pieces
4 cloves garlic, smashed
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tsp red wine vinegar
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 heaping tbsp plain yogurt
1 tbsp dried oregano
salt and pepper
1/2 batch of tzatziki
sliced tomatoes
sliced red onions
4 pitas

Whisk together the garlic, lemon juice, vinegar, oil, yogurt, and oregano in a bowl. Add the chicken and rub the marinade in. Cover and refrigerate for about an hour.

Preheat the broiler (or grill, or pan on the stove). Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides, and then broil until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side, depending what size/type chicken you are using. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.

Top the pita with the chicken, tzatziki, tomatoes, onions. Roll up and eat!
