These Chicken Gyro bowls were perfect. As the weather warms up, we love lighter meals and this was delightful. I used a baby arugula blend as the green base and layered tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, chick peas and Kalamata olives. I made a quick tzatziki to go on the side which was perfect as a chicken dipper!

Seems delicious! I definitely love to try this recipe. I almost avoid everything that is bad to my skin. Besides using lifecell skincare I'm very particular about my nutrition and exercises. Hope this is not bad for my skin!
