Chicken Gyros with Tzatziki

I gotta admit, I was disappointed in this one. I worked at a restaurant that made chicken gyros and so I was so excited to try these! They were a different flavor than I was used to and so I think that was the reason I was disappointed. The chicken by itself tasted good, but dry... so it needed some sort of sauce, but I didn't like the Tzatziki... so it kinda ruined the whole thing :) The moral of the story is that I need to find a different recipe for Tzatziki sauce! 

I found the chicken recipe here
and the Tzatziki recipe here

Slow Cooker Chicken Gyros
Ingredients:
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 onion, diced
1/4 cup water
1 tablespon olive oil
2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon lemon pepper


Directions:
Spray crock pot with non-stick cooking spray. Place chicken breasts inside slow cooker. Mix remaining ingredients together in a bowl and pour over chicken breasts. Cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours or LOW 6-8 hours. Shred chicken and serve with pocketless pita bread, sliced tomatoes, sliced onions, sliced cucumbers, lettuce, and Tzatziki sauce.


Tzatziki Sauce
Ingredients
32    ounces    plain yogurt 
2    cucumbers ( regular, peeled and seeded ) 
3    clove(s)    garlic ( crushed ) 
2    teaspoons    red wine vinegar 
1    teaspoon    lemon juice ( fresh ) 
1/2    teaspoon    dill weed ( dried ) 
   to taste    salt 
   to taste    black pepper 
   to taste    olive oil ( drizzle, extra virgin ) 
DirectionsStrain yogurt using a cheesecloth over a bowl fora couple of hours or overnight to get out as much moisture as possible (I know that this step sounds funny, but I promise that if you don't do it, your sauce will be runny and not as delicious).
Shred or grate the cucumbers and blot them with a paper towel or clean kitchen towel to get rid of as much moisture as possible.
Mix together the strained yogurt, shredded cucumbers, garlic, vinegar and lemon juice. Add salt and pepper to taste. Keep in the fridge until serving (let the flavors come together for about 30 minutes before serving).
If you want, drizzle a little olive oil over the top before serving
