I’ve really fallen in love with The Girl Who Ate Everything‘s blog recently. She has SO many delicious recipes, and she loves Cafe Rio like I do… Seriously, we’re quite the match!
When I was trying to decide what to whip up for some friends on 4th of July, I quickly found myself on her site and found the PERFECT recipe.

With the fireworks ban and the smokiness that has been Colorado, I knew we’d be dining indoors and it would be a different kind of 4th of July. So, why not make it tasty and Greek?? And, that’s exactly what it was…
Chicken Gyros
Serves 4
INGREDIENTS
Tzatziki Sauce:
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 cup plain Greek yogurt

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Shred the cucumber or chop in food processor. Wrap in a towel a squeeze to remove as much water as possible.
2. Mix together the yogurt, shredded cucumber, garlic, white wine vinegar, salt and pepper to taste, and lemon juice. Drizzle lightly with olive oil. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
3. To prepare the chicken, combine the garlic, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, olive oil, yogurt, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste in a Ziploc bag.
4. Mix well. Add the chicken pieces and mix well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for about 1 hour.
5. Cook the chicken as desired.
6. Once the chicken is completely cooked through, transfer to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes. Cut into strips.
7. Heat pitas. Top with chicken, tzatziki sauce, diced tomatoes and sliced onions. Serve immediately.
