Chicken Gyro's

Since I am now a food-blogaholic, I have been visiting many different sites and have seen this recipe on quite a few of them and couldn't wait to try it. I must say, it did not disappoint. My husband and I both ate 2 and they were sooooo good and I cannot wait to make them again. My only complaint is that there wasn't any leftovers for lunch tomorrow!!
