We love gyros at our house, and there's no shortage in the area where we live. However, I don't often think to add them to the menu at home. I decided to give these Slow Cooker Chicken Gyros a shot.
The chicken itself was simple and quick to throw in the slow cooker. I decided not to make the sauce, and instead buy it. It was a good plan anyway. I had to settle for a spinach dip instead, and that's where are gyro starts to deviate.
It was, however, a good deviation. Here's what I did:
- I used the frozen naan from Costco instead of pita or other flatbread. Good decision. That stuff is just warm and toasty awesomeness.
- I spread the naan with the spinach dip and added a sprinkle of feta. More awesome.
- I broke the chicken into smaller strip like pieces and layered a few pieces on the flat bread.
- After slicing some cherry tomatoes and baby cukes (also from Costco), I veggied up our flatbreads.
I loved the crunch of the cucumber spears, plus it made it extra pretty. The rest of my table gang do not see the redeeming value in cucumbers so I had them all to myself.
This was yummy and easy, and I'm looking forward to using some of the leftover chicken on a Greek salad. Double yum!
