Shared by our Test Kitchen, these yummy Greek specialties are a cinch to prepare at home. Just take tender chicken, coat it in a creamy cucumber-yogurt sauce, then tuck it into pita pockets. Some folks like lettuce and diced tomato on top.

I doubled this recipe for my family. I added a little cumin to the cucumber sauce on a tip from a friend, and added the onion while cooking the chicken (my family's not too keen on raw onion!). After spooning the cooked chicken into the pitas, I added a little shredded lettuce & fresh tomato - drizzled with the sauce and YUM! It was a hit and will definitely make again in the future.

IMy husband and I liked it ok, but I thought it was a little to sour. If anyone could give an idea on how to fix that I would make it again.

I wanted to try to cook healthier options for my family and we love gyros. The only thing I changed with this is that I added baby romaine leaves and tomatoes. Doubling the batch and using a little less chicken in each gyro to make room for the veggies actually made it so that we had leftovers. All four of us loved it.
