Chicken Gyros
Serves: 4
I wrap warm, tender slices of marinated rotisserie chicken
breast in a soft pita round and then top with a creamy yogurt-based sauce and the traditional
accompaniments to treat myself to a lighter version of the popular lamb sandwich. Remove the
breast frbreast from the chicken whole, peel away the skin, and then slice. Don't let the long
list of ingredients fool you. These go together in a snap.

Preparation
Sauce
Stir the sauce ingredients together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Marinade
Combine all the ingredients except the chicken in a 12-inch nonstick
skillet. Stir together. Place the chicken slices flat in the skillet and spoon the marinade
over the top.
Sandwiches
Heat the skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken slices until they
just begin to brown on one side, about 4 minutes. Carefully turn them over and brown lightly
on the other side, about 2 minutes longer. Remove to a plate. Stack the pita rounds, wrap in
damp paper towels, and microwave on high power for 30 seconds. Do not split the pitas.
Distribute the chicken slices among the pita rounds. Top with onion, lettuce, and tomato,
dividing evenly among the rounds. Spoon the sauce on top, fold over, and serve.
