It’s Monday and these Greek Chicken Gyros should make it a good one. But first, are you ready for a crazy story?
Ready or not, I am telling you.
So, Saturday night.
Our car was stolen. From the recreation center, in Silverthorne, Colorado of all places.
It was the weirdest thing and it all happened within 14 minutes.
I know crazy, right?
My parents went down the recreation center to take Asher swimming. On the way back out to the car my mom realized she lost the keys, they looked inside the recreation center, could not find them, then called me to bring them an extra set. They called me at 7:55pm while standing in the parking lot with our car, I arrived at the gym at 8:14pm. I looked for them and could not find them, so I figured they just went inside to wait. They did, so I called them, said I was outside, handed them the keys and pulled out. Not 30 seconds later, I get a call from my dad “come back, the car was stolen.”.
Ah, what?!?
Yeah, he was serious. Some wacked out person must have found the keys, waited for the right time to take the car and then acted and acted fast. Like I said, my dad was standing at the car at 7:55pm and I was there at 8:14pm and the car was gone. So, we spent Saturday night in a state of shock (I mean this is Summit County, CO – NOTHING happens here) and filling a police report. It was fun.
Still no word on the car. Which I am guessing is not good. Not good at all.
The highlight of the night was these chicken gyros. Luckily, they were pretty epic. The homemade pita bread combined with Greek chicken, tzatziki sauce (YES!), feta cheese (another, YES!) and an optional, but very delicious Greek olive tapenade. It is insane!
Your Monday night, just got a whole lot yummier! Greek Night!

Oh my heck. They look wonderful! I could put tzatziki on just about anything and devour it. It’s my favorite condiment. Thanks for the recipe!
Yum! I adore gyros. All kinds. Thanks for the great recipe and I hope you get your car back in one piece!
That is so crazy about your car!! What if you passed the thief on the road. Crazyness!
You had me at pita bread and feta. I love recipes like this, because I think gyro’s look sooo good but I don’t do lamb. The olive tapenade looks delish too.
I was a little scared to buy a whole leg of lamb, so I went with chicken. chicken never fails!
So sorry to hear about the car! Hopefully, it’l turn up soon :/
These gyros look amazing 🙂 Yum!
whoooooooooooa hold the phone, your car was stolen?? I don’t get how people can be so disrespectful of other’s things and space. By golly, I’m so sorry to hear your crazy story and am amazed you’re so up-beat about the whole thing – way to look on the bright side! I hope it turns up soon with a pot of gold inside of it! 🙂 Your gyros look aaaaamaaaaaaaaaaaazing!!! Love the pillowy pita bread with the chicken and delicious olives! I’m sure these bad boys could brighten a bad day!
ha, you are toc cute!
Ugh how awful! My sister and her now husband had their car stolen a few years ago from a parking lot – same kind of thing. The car was used in a string of robberies. The car was finally recovered but it was in terrible shape 🙁 I hope yours turns out better!!!!!!!
Lucky for us it turned out much better!
Well, I’m sure sorry about your car. How shocking!
But I do need to thank you for sharing these gryos. My family loves Greek food.
Visiting from Recipe Sharing Monday.
Oh no no no no no!! I am so sorry!! Holy cow – that is so rotten 🙁 I seriously hope you guys get some good news about your car soon!
Wow on both! I’m so sorry about your car, I wish you the best. Your gyro’s look and sound delicious. I would love for you to share tomorrow at my link party http://www.memoriesbythemile.com/

Wow, what a cruddy thing having your car stolen! So glad no one was in the car, though. That would be terrifying!
These chicken gyros look amazing. I’ve saved the recipe and plan to make them soon with homemade whole wheat pita. Thanks for sharing!
That sucks about your car–maybe some teen took it for a joyride?
Hopefully, it turns up ok.
Anyway, I’m definitely making these soon!
aahhh those pita’s again! Thanks for sharing at Show Me Your Plaid Monday’s!
ugh sorry to hear about your car! Good luck and great recipe…had plenty of gyros but not with the olives so its a nice touch!
This looks like a wonderful recipe. I hope you get your car back in one piece, but thankfully, everyone is okay.
