I wonder where my kids get the idea to ask for more and more exotic foods from different countries every day…. Hmm.. I wonder…. But this weekend the kids actually asked for chicken gyros. I have a huge list stuck to my fridge for recipes that I am actually tweaking and adjusting to get them ready to upload on the site. The kids circled Chicken Gyros- which they still pronounce as ‘guy-rows’. So off to the kitchen I went and whipped these delicious Chicken Gyros up in 20 minutes. I served the gyros with pita, salad, pickles, wedges, hummus, tzatziki and fried halloumi! SO DELICIOUS!
The best thing about the recipes I make is that I try making recipes as simple as possible so that I can get time for other things. This then makes it easy for others to follow the recipes too. I am attaching the recipes for the other items on the board here:
