Tools

OVEN You will need to remove one of the racks for this recipe, it will allow it to stand tall.

Directions

Step 1

Start by marinating your chicken with salt, pepper, Kinders Greek Blend, Cumin, Olive Oil, Paprika, Lemon Juice, Yogurt. Mix well, cover, set aside for at least 2 hours - 1 day.

Step 2

Slice your LARGE onion into two THICK slices, add in 2 skewers (sharp pointing up)into one of the onions. One on each side and one in the middle.

Step 3

Layer the chicken on the skewers and then top it with the second large piece of the onion. Add a third skewer pointing down to help with stability. Place in oven for 45 minutes, 375.

Step 4

Tzatziki Sauce: Grate your cucumber, after grating, drain the excess water to prevent your sauce from being watery. I just covered the paper towel and squeezed it.

Step 5

Mix grated cucumber, yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, dill, and salt/pepper. Taste and adjust to your preferred taste.

Step 6

Remove chicken and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes. Slice and build your gyro.

Step 7

Enjoy with whatever toppings you like! :)
