2. Using that same skillet, spray the skillet with more nonstick cooking spray. Cook chicken tenders over medium heat.
3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine all the seasonings. Stir until well combined. Sprinkle seasoning mix over the top of chicken and continue cooking the chicken until it is no longer pink.
4. To assemble to the gyros.: heat pita on a skillet for a few minutes and layer onions and 4 oz. cooked chicken into a pita.
5. Drizzle with my  Zero Point Tzatziki Sauce or you can use store bought Tzatziki sauce for additional points.

Notes

Zero Point Tzatziki Sauce:

1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
