I love easy recipes that look and taste great. This Slow Cooker Chicken Gyros with Tzatziki Sauce recipe is nothing short of easy and tasty! Throw them in the crock pot and serve them for dinner and it will look like you’ve slaved away.
One thing I always try to do when creating recipes is to make a healthy meal that my entire family will love. I want something that is delicious and doesn’t taste like I’m being deprived of calories, but that fits into my diet goals as well. This recipe fits those parameters and knocks it out of the park in the taste department!
This recipe is as easy as tossing the ingredients in the crockpot. Mixing up 4 simple ingredients for the sauce and assembling the pitas when you are ready to eat!
Then just fold them up and wrap some foil around them and you’ve got food truck worthy chicken gyros made from scratch in your kitchen!
