I didn't care for it but that could be because I didn't use the ketchup. I even made Tzatziki sauce to go over it. It just seemed very bland.

I "cheated" and used two large cans of canned chicken chunks. Put the marinade over the top and broiled them just long enough to heat them through and start to get crispy. I also used flour tortillas rather than pitas because it's what we had. Added some yellow bell pepper strips too. They were excellent! Everyone that tried them liked them and my picky kids even ate some!

Was really surprised and pleased with these! I was very skeptical of the idea of "chicken" gyros. But the tasted turned out great. I used chicken tenderloins, which provide the perfect size strip for a pita. Also, didn't have curry on hand, so mixed up some cumin, coriander, red/black pepper and ginger, and the taste was great. Even my picky husband loved the flavor. I used the regular lf yogurt, and while it was missing the cucumber taste of real tzitiki (sp?), the sour of the yogurt really complimented the chicken. I grilled some red and yellow peppers, and dipped those in the extra yogurt, made up some couscous, and we had a great meal!

This is a really great recipe! I made a few changes, but pretty much stayed on course. I used chicken tenderloin instead of whole breast... just my preference. I didn't have curry powder, but I had some Knorr-Swiss aromatic seasoning which has curry in it. I used red cider vinegar instead of white. Instead of marinating for just a few minutes in the pan, I put the marinade and chicken into a large Ziploc bag and marinated for 3 hours. I found that 15 minutes on the "low" broil setting was perfect. I served with Tzatziki II sauce and a Spanokorizo recipe, both found here on Allrecipes.com. Some grilled pita bread drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt rounded out the meal. The kids loved this and raved for an hour! Highly recommended.

I am giving this three stars only becaue my picky 5 year old liked it. My DH drowned it with the yogurt I took one bite and nearly choked. The curry is overwhelming. I won't be making this again.

the marinade was good, but I must say that in Montreal there is a plentitude of Lebanese food. From which, Gyros are usually only called such if made w/ Lamb and this would be considered souvlaki. Nonetheless, I added a lot of garlic powder to the yogurt and topped pitas with onions & fresh tomatoes. As it is frequently served w/ roasted-style potatoes, I did so. Very tasty meal, but needed some major additions!

These were good, but not spectacular. The family said I could make it again, but no one was raving. I marinated the chicken for 8hrs

These were pretty good but missing something in the marinade. I even let the ckn marinate for about 4 hrs and still it didn't have much flavor to me. Will be sure to get more sturdy pitas next time. Try it with Greek style yogurt (thicker consistency, like sour cream). Pretty good!

This most definately did not taste like any Gyro that we have ever eaten. My family asked that I not make it again. Tasted more like an imitation barbeque sauce type marinade. The only savior was adding Tzatziki sauce instead of yogurt.

Made this tonite and the whole fam loved it. I let the chicken marinade for about 1/2 hour then grilled it. It was very moist and had a terrific flavor. It definitely needed salt and pepper to finish the seasoning. I served it with Tzatziki V11 from this site instead of the plain yogurt. I made only half a recipe of tzatziki and we had plenty. This was a great recipe as well and complemented the gyros perfectly.

Very good! I thought about cucumber sauce, and then sour cream, but went with the yogurt and was surprised that it still tasted wonderful. I think I'll add some onions next time around.

These were OK, but I prefer a more mediteranean taste. Try marinating your chicken breast strips in olive oil, lemon, oregano, parsley, garlic and a dash of pepper. We prefer tzaziki sauce, tomatoes, onion and a bit of lettuce if you like. It's also really good if you charcoal a whole chicken (or buy one from Costco!) and strip the meat - dark and white from the chicken and use it for the gyros. We called these Chicken Souvlaki in Australia. Try serving with Tabouli salad and hummus on the side for a nice summer meal!
