I was recently contacted by Stonyfield Farm to try their Oikos Greek Yogurt and post a review on this here blog. Well, I was super excited because I love Greek Yogurt! This one is especially good. It's zingy, creamy and full of flavor! I also love that it's organic! It can be used in a ton of recipes from entrees to desserts.
It took me a bit to decide on a recipe. I finally settled on this one.
I marinated 10 chicken tenders all day in these fabulous ingredients:
For the dressing I used:
- juice from 1 lemon
- 1 1/2 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tsp marjoram
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- cracked pepper
For the dressing I used:
- 1 cup of Oikos Greek Yogurt
- 1/2 cucumber, peeled and grated
- 1/2 tsp minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- pinch of dill
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
First, squeeze as much water out of your cucumber as you can, a paper towel works great for this. Next, place all of your ingredients into a bowl and stir to combine. Place in the fridge for at least an hour to allow the flavors to come together nicely.
Place chicken on a piece of warmed flat bread and garnish with grated cucumber, diced tomato, leaf lettuce, sliced green onion, and dressing.

I made potatoes brushed with olive oil and sprinkled with a mixture of kosher salt, paprika, oregano, onion powder, and cracked pepper to go with the Gyros. I placed them in a 425 degree oven to cook and then finished them under the broiler to brown them just a touch more.
This was a terrific meal! I hope you will give this recipe and this sensational yogurt a try!

That yoghurt dressing looks soo good! :) Combining cucumber and yogurt is always a good thing. :)
Oh, man! Every time I come on your blog you have a new, wonderful recipe. That one looks so yummy.
I printed out meatball sandwich on flat bread, but life got crazy yesterday and I couldn't make it to the store. I was telling my mom about your site yesterday - I love it! I am printing this one out too and taking it to the store tomorrow. Thanks!

Hi!
What a beautiful and simple meal,
that's just my style. Well done
I love Gyros and I know I would like these with chicken. I've never made them at home but after seeing these, this recipe will be going on my "have to have" list.
Of course I can't resist the beautiful potato slices either.

The yogurt dressing sounds excellent with the Oikos yogurt, perfect for the chicken gyros. Lovely blog!

I really enjoyed the Oikos yogurt. This entire meal has me hungry. YUM.

Kim-I've been looking high and low for Greek yogurt without any success.Where and what brand do you buy? Is this available in OR?
I LOVE the thought of a chicken gyro. I have got to try this. Your review swayed me! Looks fantastic.
The only thing I like more than a burrito is a gyro!
I'm glad you went and checked out MaryJane's Farm! The videos and just her farm make me want my own! Your chicken gyro looks fabulous and simple too. :) I have to start making my rounds more on visiting blogs..I have been so busy lately! Hope you're doing well. What are of Oregon are you in?

This makes me long for Turkish food! Good thing I'll be getting the real thing in 6 months!
I love recipe which uses yogurt...and the chicken that you feature looks so yummie, great combination. Love the pictures. By the way, thank you so much for visiting my site.
I love Greek food! I dated a greek guy once and I sure do miss that food....
That whole meal looks fabulous. I do roasted potatoes like that, but I've never thought to cut them in thick slices before. I like the way that looks.
This looks so delicious. What a feast! I'll have to check out our local groceries and see if they carry this brand!
This is something I want to try, but was wondering if you could clarify the use of the cucumber. Was there shredded cucumber in the dressing AND on the side, or was it just on the side?
Greektastic! This looks wonderful, i love what you did with the yogurt!
I love a cucmber yogurt dressing...
There was a great Greek restaurant when I was in college...
sigh
