I love gyros! Chicken gyros are a great way to keep the meat lean, and add vegetables for those classic Mediterranean flavors! The best part is the tzatziki sauce! Right? Super nutritious meal, we have a lean protein, whole grains, plus vegetables, and even some fat free dairy! The recipe below is for two adults, but you can obviously scale it to your family needs!
Plus, this chicken!!! MMM, so good! It would be good with just a bunch of veggies, on a salad, oh or on a sandwich!! So many options! I mean, you should just make extra so you can have left overs!
