Grilled Chicken Gyros
I have absolutely loved being able to grill out out every night. Last nights dinner from the grill was, grilled chicken gyros. What better way to end the weekend than to relax on the patio and grill dinner with my husband and pup of course, because he is included in everything. Love our family time.
This recipe is also the perfect Sunday dinner as it’s super easy and healthy. After a long weekend of working on house stuff, celebrating a good friend and a Saturday night dinner party, an easy dinner was needed tonight. An easy and healthy dinner I should say. What you put into your body is what you are going to get out of it. That being said, I needed a good healthy meal to ensure my Monday would be as productive as it could be.
We paired these grilled chicken gyros with homemade fries topped with feta cheese, however if that is too unhealthy for you, you could do grilled veggies.
