Made with marinated grilled chicken, fresh Midwest grown produce and a bright tzatziki sauce, this spin on the classic gyro is sure to please everyone! Even though summer is winding to a close, we still take full advantage of our outdoor grill through September and even into October. And when outdoor grilling isn’t an option, a grill pan on the stove works just as well.
Cut down on prep time by using Two Brothers Garlic Caprese Vinaigrette as the chicken marinade. This is one of my favorite salad dressing varieties because it’s so flavorful and versatile. It’s always stashed in my fridge for quick marinades and to top our vegetable and grain-based salads.

- 1 Tbsp. Midwest grown dill, chopped
- 1 small garlic clove, minced

- To make the tzatziki sauce, coarsely grate half of the cucumber (slice the remaining half for serving). Squeeze out as much water as possible.
- Transfer it to a bowl and stir in the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, dill and garlic. Season to taste with salt and set aside.
