Experimental cooking can be a source of deep joy--or agony--depending on how it turns out. The perfect meal shared with a good companion puts me in a deliciously good mood. But unhealthy, un-tasty, untimely meals put me in a frump. This is my quest for good foods and good moods.

Koula's chicken gyros
Joe found this recipe at Allrecipes.com when were were living in Taiwan. It's a recipe that we actually follow nearly exactly.
Koula's Gyros
3 chicken breast halves, cut into 1/2-inch strips
2 Tbs ketchup
2 Tbs olive oil
1 1/2 tsp white wine vinegar
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp mustard powder
1 1/2 tsps curry powder
4 pitas, halved and toasted
salad greens, cucumbers, tomatoes, plain yogurt if you like
Place chicken strips in a single layer in a glass baking dish. Mix together the ketchup, oil, vinegar, and spices. Slather it onto your chicken... you might want to double or even triple the sauce recipe depending on the size of your chicken breasts. The more sauce the better, in my opinion. Let stand while you preheat your broiler. Broil for 10-15 minutes.
Stuff pita pockets with greens, chicken and veggies. Top with plain yogurt (or don't if you're like us)
