Cook onions until they are caramelized. Remove onions from skillet.

Using that same skillet, spray the skillet with more nonstick cooking spray.

Cook chicken tenders over medium heat until chicken is tender. 

Remove chicken tenders or breasts from skillet.

Using a sharp knife and fork slice chicken into thinly sliced or bite size pieces and return to skillet and continue cooking the chicken until it is no longer pink.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine all the seasonings. Stir until well combined.

Sprinkle seasoning mix over the top of chicken and continue cooking the chicken until it is no longer pink.

Remove from heat.

To assemble to the gyros: heat pita on a skillet for a few minutes and layer onions and 4 oz. cooked chicken into a pita.

Drizzle with my  Zero Point Tzatziki Sauce or you can use store bought Tzatziki sauce for additional points.

Zero Point Tzatziki Sauce:

Winner! These chicken gyros hit the spot. I didn't change anything in the recipe except I rubbed the spices Into the chicken and had it sit overnight.

I can't wait to make this. Just ordered pita and Daks off Amazon. Do I use the Daks Super Greek and the dash of rosemary, ground cumin, ground coriander & oregano?

Hi Anitra,

Awesome! It’s one of my favorites. Yes, that combination of seasonings really makes the chicken so flavorful. If you don’t have the Dak’s super Greek it’s still is very delicious-but if you have haven’t tried that seasoning yet and want to -i would recommend it. It’s delicious.

Enjoy
