TUESDAY CHICKEN GYROS

I LIVE IN A CITY CLOSE TO TARPON SPRINGS,FLORIDA,WHERE EVERYTHING GREEK IS MOMENTS AWAY.GREAT GREEK SALADS,HOMEMADE PASTRIES AND FAMOUS GYROS.SO......I THOUGHT LET'S MAKE A CLASSIC WITH AN AMERICAN TWIST.

GRILLED CHICKEN GYROS

1/2 PINT OF SOUR CREAM

1 CUCUMBER

TSP. CHOPPED GARLIC

1 LEMON

SALT

3-4 CHICKEN BREAST

TOMATO

RED ONION

ICEBERG LETTUCE

PITA BREAD 7 " ROUND

START BY PEELING THE SKIN OFF THE CUCUMBER,CUT THE CUCUMBER IN HALF LENGTHWISE .TAKE A SPOON AND SCOOP OUT THE SEEDS FROM THE CENTER OF THE CUCUMBER.CHOP INTO PIECES.

PUT CUCUMBER,SOUR CREAM,TSP.CHOPPED GARLIC,TSP.SALT AND THE JUICE OF ONE LEMON.INTO A BLENDER OR FOOD PROCESSOR AND BLEND.IF YOU HAVE NEITHER FINELY CHOP THE CUCUMBER AND MIX IN A BOWL.(IT WILL BE A LITTLE CHUNKY,BUT STILL TASTY!)SET SAUCE ASIDE IN FRIG.

GRILL CHICKEN BREAST(ON GRILL OUTSIDE,OR IN THE BROILER)CUT INTO STRIPS.

CUT LETTUCE IN HALF,THEN CUT IN THIN STRIPS(SHRED FINE)

PEEL AND CUT ONION IN HALF,AND THEN INTO THIN STRIPS.

CUT TOMATOES IN THIN SLICES,AND THEN IN HALF.

WARM PITA BREAD.(OVEN FOR A FEW MINUTES.MICROWAVE ,OR IN A SKILLET WITH PA N SPRAY ,FOR NON-STICK.)I LIKE THE PAN METHOD.
