Chicken Kebab Gyro with Tzatziki Sauce

My husband and son really loved these Chicken Kebabs that I made into a gyro sandwich with Tzatziki Sauce.  The kebabs were spicy and flavorful while the Tzatziki sauce was cool and refreshing.  Both recipes were easy to make and fun to eat.

To Make the Kebab:


2lbs of ground chicken:
1 large handful of fresh parsley finely chopped
1 large handful of fresh mint finely chopped
1/2 medium onion grated
1 serrano chili seeded and minced
1 Tbs of grated ginger
1 Tbs of grated garlic
1 Tbs of garam masala
1 Tbs of paprika
Salt and Pepper to taste




Form large size (oblong) kebabs on skewers or into patties (like hamburgers).  If you are planning to eat them in a pita make it more oval shaped.  I did stick two skewers into each kebab because they were big and it made it easier to flip them. 




I fried them in a flat griddle brushed with a little bit of oil until both sides were cooked through on medium heat.  Gently press down and flatten them so they are like a oblong burger shape if you want to eat them in a pita as a Gyro.



Serve as a Kebab or inside a grilled pita as a Gyro Sandwich with Tzatziki sauce and other gyro condiments.   Enjoy.  Serves 6-8 people.   


Tzatziki Sauce Recipe:


 You will need:

• 8oz of Greek style plain yogurt or regular plain yogurt that you have strained with a paper towel in a colander to allow all the liquid to drip out.  
• 1/2 a English Cucumber diced finely
• 1 Tbs of olive oil
• 1 Tbs of fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp of fresh dill minced
• 1 tsp of fresh mint mince
• 1-2 garlic cloves grated
• salt to taste.
Mix well and allow to chill in fridge for 1-2 hours before serving.   Enjoy.
