Chicken Gyro with Mediterranean

I loved Greece - the weather, the blue of the Mediterranean Sea and the food, specifically the gyros. I created this recipe relying on my flavor memories. Grilled herb infused chicken, tender naan, and tzatziki. These gyros are irresistible.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon Mediterranean Seasoning

1 1/2 pounds bone-in chicken breast or thighs

Juice of 2 lemons

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

4 pieces of nann or pita

1 cup of your favorite tzatziki
