I WILL try this - but I've never in my life heard of gyros containing chicken. It's always been the delicious lamb. But --- this has that wonderful sauce, soooo - will give it a chance -)

There are quite a bit of delicious ingredients and seasonings included in this chicken gyros dish. My husband and I usually make chicken pita sandwiches but they are not anything remotely like this. The tatziki sauce is the flavorful finishing touch that it needs! I love this sauce and I am excited to try and make some homemade for myself.

I love chicken gyros, so making it in the slow cooker is one recipe I need to try! I can't wait to make this recipe for dinner.

I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm addicted to gyros. Definitely trying this tonight.

Wow...what an exciting burst of flavors this will be! I love chicken any way I can get it, so it's always fun for me to try new recipes that have it in it. This seems like it would be a really healthy meal and so flavorful and although it calls for a pita...I think it would be amazing in either a wrap or on top of a salad as well.
