1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons Greek Seasoning
1 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon pepper
To prepare
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon Greek Seasoning

Instructions
Cut the chicken into bite size pieces and put in a bowl or a large plastic bag.
Add the buttermilk, Greek Seasoning, red wine vinegar, garlic and pepper to the chicken. Mix until the chicken is coated. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
Make the Tzatziki sauce and refrigerate. It gets better as it sits. You can make it a day ahead.
Mix the flour, Greek Seasoning and pepper together. Dip the chicken into the flour. Shake off excess flour.
Add it a pan with oil in it that is about 325 degrees. Fry the chicken quickly until cooked throughout. Drain on a paper towel.
Heat the pita bread up in the oven or microwave while the chicken is cooking. Have your topping ingredients ready to assemble the gyros.
To assemble gyros, add a line of cucumber slices down the center of the pita. Top with the chicken. Then add your toppings and Tzatziki sauce.
