HEARTY CHICKEN GYROS

I love reinventing classic recipes to fit our taste and healthy lifestyle. This recipe is quick to prepare and can be served with oven fries or on its own. You can add Greek olives, omit the onion, or even use cubed pork tenderloin for a new taste. -Kayla Douthitt, Elizabethtown, Kentucky
