Greek Souvlaki with chicken gyros

I am a big fan of the Greek souvlaki and when i am in Greece i eat it very often. Now that i am living in Sweden i make my own, so when ever i feel homesick i make souvlaki with Greek pita sended to me from my mother by post!!! My dear mother knows how much i like it so she sends the pitas to me from time to time so i have the real Greek pita in my freezer all year around.

You will need:
 (for 4 souvlaki)

2 chicken breast fillets
4 pitas
2 tomatoes
1 green pepper
1 yellow pepper
1 big onion
2 tablespoon olive oil
Oregano, thyme, paprika, pepper, salt, cummin, curry, mustard, cayenne pepper

For the yogurt sauce:
2 garlic cloves
2 dl yogurt
1 tablespoon olive oil
 Dill, salt, pepper

Put the olive oil into a frying pan or a wok, i prefer the wok when i have many ingredients. Chop the onion and the peppers in small pieces and when the oil is hot throw them in and stir.




Cut the meat in thin long pieces as you see in the picture and add them into the pan.



Add all the spices and stir well until all the ingredients are cooked. While the meat is cooking you can make the yogurt sauce. Take a small bowl and put the yogurt inside, the salt, the pepper, the olive oil, some dill and the garlic in very small pieces and stir well. Your sauce is ready!

10 min before the meat is done, preheat the oven at 200 degrees and put the pitas inside and cook them at 180 degrees with the hot air. It takes only 5 minutes for them to be ready. When the pitas are cooked its time to serve your souvlaki. I will present 2 ways to you and you choose the one you like best!!!!





Καλή όρεξη!
