Easy Skillet Chicken Gyros
My go-to weeknight meal for all the Greek flavors all in one place.
The number one question I get as a food blogger is what is my go-to quick weeknight meal. Well, it doesn’t get simpler than this. The tzatziki is non-negotiable and you can make it the night before to prep.

If you like this dish, you will love my EASY CHICKEN GYROS that are baked in a loaf pan. I use chicken thighs in that dish and it takes about an hour to cook but the end product is worth it.
