Serves/Makes: 24 | Ready In: 2-5 hrs
Ingredients:
***Marinade***
1 cup olive oil
3/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup garlic, pressed or minced
2 tablespoons dried mint
2 tablespoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons black pepper
1 tablespoon salt
***Chicken Gryos***
10 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
24 pitas
12 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
***Yogurt-Dill Sauce***
1 1/2 pound cream cheese, softened (can use low fat cream cheese)
4 cups natural plain yogurt (can use low or non fat yogurt)
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons garlic, pressed or minced
1 tablespoon dried dill
2 teaspoons salt
Directions:
In a medium bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients. Set aside 3/4 cup marinade.
Pour remaining marinade over chicken pieces and stir to combine. Marinate, refrigerated, 2 hours.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add chicken and saute until cooked through. Work in batches as necessary.
Transfer chicken to large bowl, removing batches from skillet with a slotted spoon. Cool.
Divide evenly among one-quart size freezer bags. Divide reserved marinade evenly among chicken, shaking to distribute (1/2 tablespoon per serving). Seal bag, pressing out excess air. Refrigerate.
Wrap pitas in foil (1 per serving).
Package cheese in snack bags (1/2 ounce per serving).
Place a package of chicken, a pita, and a package of cheese in each of one-gallon size freezer bags. Seal bag, pressing out excess air. Freeze.
For Yogurt-Dill Sauce: If substituting low-fat or non-fat yogurt for natural yogurt, strain overnight in refrigerator in a coffee filter-lined sieve.
Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl or processor. Beat or process until smooth. Divide evenly among small freezer containers. Cover with a sheet of plastic wrap, pressing down to cling to food. Apply lid. Freeze.
Victoria's Note: When you want to use your Chicken Gyros Kits, defrost them in the refrigerator.
Preheat oven to 350degrees F. Warm foil-wrapped pitas in oven 10 minutes. Warm chicken in oven or microwave until heated through.
Stir Yogurt-Dill Sauce and transform into Tzatziki by adding 1/2 large cucumber which has been peeled, seeded, finely diced or shredded, and drained.
Top pita rounds with chicken, Yogurt-Dill Sauce, and crumbled feta. Add fresh, sliced tomato if desired.
