Ingredients

3 cups shredded or thinly cut lettuce
1/2 cup pickled onions
1 cup very thinly sliced cucumber
1 cup baby tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup black olives
1 cup canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
fresh mint and fresh dill for garnish
garlic sauce
tzatziki (use our tzatziki recipe)
2 large thin pitas
2 servings of Gyro Chicken (find the recipe by clicking here)

Instructions

Make the gyro chicken according to this recipe.
Skewer the chicken onto the vertical pan.
Turn the heat on the oven down to 350F.
Using a 9 inch cake tin, gently press the pita into the tin to create a bowl shape. Brush with a bit of olive oil and bake for about 5 minutes or until crisp (and stays in a bowl shape).
Let the pita cool for a few minutes and then remove to a plate.
Once the chicken is cooked, prepare the pita bowls.
Assemble the chicken pita bowls - divide the ingredients between the 2 pita bowls. Add the lettuce as the bottom layer then add the pickled onions, sliced cucumber, baby tomatoes, black olives, chickpeas, crumbled feta and cooked & sliced gyro chicken. Season the vegetables with a pinch of salt if desired.
Add dollops of garlic sauce and/or tzatziki and garnish with fresh mint and fresh dill.
Enjoy the whole bowl! Don't forget you can eat the pita bowl too as you enjoy it all.
