Crock Pot Chicken Gyros

I love Pinterest for many reasons, and one is all the delicious recipes I can have access to and try. Sometimes they are a total fail and sometimes they work out fabulously. I am also the type of person to take a recipe for guidance and tweak it to my own taste. Last night I tried a recipe for crock pot chicken Gyros, it turned out really well and I liked the settle flavors of the chicken but it just reminded me of soft tacos but Greek style! 
​
I couldn't find pocketless pita bread at the store so I grab a package of garlic flavored Naan bread, which hello garlic and Greek food go hand in hand because isn't that what all Greek food have in it! I added the sides that we like lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, feta cheese, peppers and homemade Tzatziki sauce and rice pilaf. Some people might like olives on the side, I like olives but the hubby does not so they aren't on the plate. Some other sides could be spinach and artichokes as well. Play around and enjoy!
​

Crock Pot Chicken Gyros:

Ingredients:
2 boneless chicken breasts
3 cloves of minced garlic
1/4 cup lemon juice
3 tablespoons of diced onion
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon oregano
dash of salt and pepper

Directions:

Place chicken breasts in crock pot. 

​Mix all other ingredients in a separate bowl and then pour over chicken breasts. 

Cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8.

Once cooked take chicken breasts out and place in a bowl and then use an electric beater and shred the chicken, or you can use two forks and shred it (I find the electric mixer or your kitchen aid with a paddle attachment super easy)

Serve with all the sides and enjoy, I like to place my chicken in the middles and add the toppings then spread a big dollop of Tzatziki on top.

You can find my recipe for Tzatziki sauce here. 

Happy cooking!
