Probably one of the best takeaways from our visit to Athens, Greece was our daily, very cheap, chicken gyro. My mouth just waters as I remember sitting along fountains or by ancient ruins and devouring this fine, saucy fare. Not only do we try to eat as cheaply as possible, we currently try to travel as cheaply as possible (hopefully that will change). This yummy Greek street food filled our bellies with flare and our favorite ingredient was the in-sandwich-fries. Wouldn't have thought to do that but who am I to argue with tradition? Cheap and I make this to reminisce over cheap Greek good eats (even if we couldn't seem to find any shade to enjoy this in).
Ingredients:
Chicken marinade:
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 medium-sized chicken breasts, or 2 large chicken breasts
4 flat-breads
leafy greens
3 roma tomatoes, diced
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup olives (green of black)
1 cup crumbled feta
french fries (we use leftover or freezer to make it simple)
Tzatziki Sauce
Directions:
Mix together marinade and then add chicken. Let chicken marinate for at least 1 hour. Preheat oven to 450F
When chicken is done marinating, bake for 25-30 minutes (or until golden). You can use this time to chop up all your toppings
After chicken is done cooking, let it rest for 10 minutes and then cut into thin slices.
It's fun to set everything out and let folks pick any or all (which we prefer in the Cheap household) of the toppings they wish.
Enjoy!
