As previously mentioned, I LOVE having leftovers but they are even better when you can make them look like a completely different fresh meal! If you have tried the Verdant Marinated Chicken Kabobs
or the Lamb and Lemon Bell Pepper Kabobs, this is a recipe that will come in handy. Of course, should you just feel like making a variation without the leftovers, use rotisserie chicken or boiled chicken that has been chopped up and add a bit more of the seasonings listed below, plus some lemon juice and dried parsley as well. If you have leftovers from the above kabobs, but not enough for your entire family, simply add additional cooked chicken to the pan and follow the recipe below.

BVC Gyros - Leftovers Reinvented
Keep in mind for this recipe, since you will be working from leftovers the quantities of the added ingredients are all subjective to the amount you are making. Be sure to taste test. Start with small additions and add more if you want more flavor. The chicken stock is used to keep the meat from drying out the second time around, so again, adjust quantity as necessary. Cooking, unlike baking, is not an exact science so have fun and throw it in the pot!
Leftovers from Verdant Marinated Chicken Kabobs or leftovers from Lamb and Lemon Bell Pepper Kabobs (add additional cooked chicken to supplement if need be for either version or combine the two kabob recipes if you made both and have leftovers from both)
2 Tbsp chicken broth (may need a tad more depending on quantity of leftovers)
2 tsp dried oregano
1/8-1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp ground coriander
chopped tomato
Lettuce leaves
Pita bread
BVC Chunky Tzatziki Sauce with Lemon and Dill*
In a non stick pan spray or add a bit of oil (olive oil, canola oil, whatever) or butter. Add the chicken and/or lamb (you can cut it smaller). Add chicken broth, dried oregano, ground cumin (be careful as too much can upset stomachs), ground coriander. Saute together until warmed through and liquid is gone. I like to use the bell pepper and onion as well at this point if you have some left over or any additional to add. Serve in pita pockets with Tzatziki Sauce or Marinated Cucumber Salad over the top as well as chopped fresh tomato. Add fresh lettuce between pita and meat if desired. Serve with simple Jasmin rice on the side, corn on the cobb, or other personal favorites.
*Should you want to save some time and if you have either the leftover BVC Marinated Cucumber Salad or leftover BVC Tzatziki Sauce with Lime and Mint you can use those instead of the BVC Chunky Tzatziki Sauce with Lemon and Dill
