Editors Review
There are two reasons why you are absolutely going to love this recipe of Chicken Gyro. Firstly, because it is a fantastic way to use leftover roast chicken. It is a little departure from the usual chicken salad. Secondly, because this makes a super healthy and satisfying meal during the summer and is easy to wrap and carry along for a quick lunch. The Tzatziki is made with naturally probiotic Greek yogurt, lots of fresh veggies and a whole-wheat naan, which makes it high in fiber and good nutrients.Chef
