Awesome chicken pita. This was soo good that I ate three in one night!! The first two I made, I ate them the way the recipe mentioned, but the last one I ate I add feta cheese to it to enhance flavor. The only thing I did differently was instead of cooking chicken in slow cooker for 6 hours, I did a quicker method by grilling onions and chicken on stovetop. The next time I prepare this I will try it in the slow cooker. Overall great and healthy dish.

To make this authentic Greek. Take chicken shavings, put in a whole piece of pita bread as if it were a tortilla (do not break apart bread). top with raw onions, tomato slice or two. french fries, cayenne, and tsaziki sauce. That's how they make them. For an added amount of unhealthy flavor, deep fry the pita.

Ran out of time to get into the slow cooker, so I made it on the stove top in about 1.5 hours and it came out well. The "show-stopper" was the yogurt sauce. Every last bit was gone and sauces don't usually go over very well at my house!

I tried this earlier today and it came out very well. Reading complaints about the chicken drying out during cooking I brined the chicken first and it came out just fine.

This were very good and a family hit. The Z sauce definitely adds a nice touch with such a fresh taste. The chicken is super simple to prepare. We will definitely make this again, but might try adding just a little chicken broth to the slow cooker this time.

I went by this recipe just about as is, only thing I changed was to turn the crock pot to low for the 6 hours instead of high - as others had suggested.The only thing good about this meal was the cucumber yogurt and the pitas. When I got home from work the edges of the chicken were not only brown, but dry and cracking.. we were hungry so decided to salvage what we could. The remaining chicken had a dry consistency and and an odd texture. On top of the terrible texture of the chicken, the spices used in the mixture did don't fare well with the cucumber sauce. It was like drinking a glass of koolaid and then a glass of milk... didn't work at all. I am very disappointed in this recipe, without making major adjustments I just don't feel I'd ever make this again. :(

I didnt have any problems with it being too dry. I also added a little dill to the yougurt sauce and the chicken.

This was mediocre, will not make again. I don't think cooking the chicken breasts in the Crockpot produces a gyro style meat. I'll stick to grilling my chicken gyros.

This was okay, but didn't live up to the idea. It was very dry and not that flavorful. It's way too much time in the pot for this amount of chicken with no liquid... the onions were blackened and gave it all a funky taste-- and I took it out an hour early! I would love to find a good recipe for a Greek Gyro, to get the meat tender and moist like slow roasting does... this is not it.

This is a very good recipe. However, I skipped the slow cooker part. Just saute the onion and garlic in a bit of olive oil, season the chicken and then brown it in the skillet. Mix the dressing and you're ready to eat. Much easier and faster this way.
