• Greek chicken (recipe to follow below)
• Tzatziki cucumber salad (recipe to follow below)
• Ripe tomato, sliced and cut in halves
  

For the Greek Chicken:

1. Wash your chicken breasts and pat dry.
2. Slice your chicken into strips and place them in a bowl or ziploc bag.
3. In a bowl, add all of your ingredients for the marinade. This includes: 1/2 cup olive oil, 1 TBSP red wine vinegar, 1 TBSP Italian seasoning, lemon zest from one lemon, fresh lemon juice from one lemon, 1/2 TSP salt and 1/4 TSP black pepper. Whisk together to mix well.
4. Once mixed pour your marinade over your sliced chicken and mix everything together. Place in the fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes before cooking. NOTE: I like to do this in the morning and then cook this in the late afternoon or night. The longer it marinates the better.
5. When ready to cook, spray a grill pan or pan with non stick spray. Heat over medium heat and add your marinated chicken. You can also add some of the marinade to the pan as well, so it cooks with the chicken.
6. Cook your chicken for 5-10 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink.
7. Serve right away or store in an air tight container until ready to enjoy.
8. ENJOY!

For the Tzatziki Cucumber Salad: 

1. Peel, wash, pat dry and slice your cucumber. Place it in a bowl.
2. Slice your red onion in half moons and place it in the Sam bowl as the cucumbers.
3. In a separate bowl place all the ingredients for the tzatziki sauce in that bowl. That includes: 1 Cup Greek yogurt, 5% milk fat, 1 TBSP minced garlic, 1 TBSP olive oil, Fresh lemon juice from one full lemon, 1 TSP white vinegar, 2 TBSP fresh dill, finely chopped, 1 TSP salt and 1/4 TSP black pepper. Whisk everything together until smooth.
4. Reserve 1/2 cup of the tzatziki sauce to serve with the gyros on the side later and then pour the rest over the sliced cucumbers and red onions. Mix everything together and mix well. Place reserved sauce and cucumber salad in the fridge until ready to serve and construct gyros.
5. ENJOY!
