Yum yum! Simple and delicious. I served this with a variety of veggies, wrapped in giant pitas and lots of Greek Garlic Sauce (199091) and it made for a great dinner! Thanks! -
This is a great way to cook the chicken, but you will h ave to add some type of sauce to the pitas for tastiness. I did enjoy how easy it was to put together. :) -
I also prepared this without adding the yogurt. I used Huskergirl's tzatziki recipe - http://www.recipezaar.com/Tsatsiki-Gyro-Sauce-307493 - (5stars)and served on pitas with tomato and red onion. Even though I added extra greek seasoning and and sprinkled the chicken with garlic salt it was a little bland. I probably won't make it again. -
This is really good! I used boneless skinless chicken breasts and did not add the yogurt (just personal preference), and I substituted Greek seasoning for the oregano. I put chicken in crock pot, seasoned with half of seasoning, then added onions and the rest of the seasoning. Served with couscous...very tasty! Thank you!

My whole family loved this. I doubled the recipe, and I used 2 tsp. lemon pepper seasoning, 2 tsp. greek seasoning, and one large onion. I did not add the yogurt to the crockpot. Instead I topped the pita with cucumber yogurt sauce (Recipe #30081). We also put hummus in our pita,
