Greek Nachos

A lighter, healthier Greek twist on traditional nachos – made with whole wheat pita chips, hummus, cucumbers, tomatoes and feta.

I was asked to do a book review for the paperback book Snack Girl To The Rescue: Easy, Delicious Food for Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner[1]. This book is a weight loss book as well as a cookbook, and although there are no photos, Lisa gives practical advice on getting healthy along with a bit of humor. The book has 100 recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but I thought I would try one of her snacks, because after all, she’s Snack Girl[2], right?

This was super easy to make would even work as a light vegetarian lunch. Next time I make this, I might even add some Kalamata olives and bell peppers. Enjoy!

Chicken Gyros with Tzatziki Sauce

Chicken Gyros with Tzatziki Sauce

by Pam on August 13, 2013

I was in the mood for a Greek gyro so I decided to make some using chicken breasts. I marinated the chicken in lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and seasonings then cooked them in my grill pan. I placed the sliced chicken in the warm pita bread slathered in Tzatizi Sauce[1], mixed greens, kalamata olives, tomatoes, red onion, and feta cheese. These gyros were healthy, delicious, and my entire family gobbled them up. I loved that my kids really liked them, although my son opted for no tzatiki sauce on his gyro.

Make the tzatiki sauce. Click here for a link to the recipe[2].

Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, and a pinch of crushed red pepper, to taste to a ziploc bag. Add the chicken breasts and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.  Remove from the ziplock bag and place on a plate. Season both sides with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.

Preheat a grill pan that has been coated in cooking spray over medium heat.  Place the seasoned chicken in the grill pan and cook for 8-10 minutes before flipping over and cooking for an additional 7-8 minutes, or until the chicken has cooked through. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes on a cutting board before slicing into thin strips.

Warm your pita bread in the microwave for 20 seconds.Top the pita with the tzatziki sauce, sliced chicken, mixed greens, tomatoes, red onion, and feta cheese. Wrap in tin foil and serve. Enjoy.
