California Style Chicken Gyros

This post is sponsored. For light summer cooking, reach for this California Chicken Gyros recipe! Traditional Greek ingredients, like cucumber and tomato, are here, but I’ve also added healthy fat with avocado and protein in a yogurt-ranch dip! Fresh and flavorful!

The Hubs recently installed a sink on our back patio so we now have a complete outdoor kitchen…..sort of. There’s a grill, a cutting surface, a mini fridge, and a sink. They’re all completely disjointed, but I’ll take what I can get. I’m excited to be able to prep and cook all summer long while still enjoying the sunny weather and my pool guests.

California Chicken Gyros

I like to keep my summer cooking light, and full of fresh veggies from my backyard garden. For my inaugural meal in my outdoor kitchen, I grilled up some chicken breasts and used Hidden Valley® Greek Yogurt Dips Mix to make my version of chicken gyros.

So these aren’t the most traditional gyros around (I put avocado on everything I possibly can), but they taste darn delicious.

Although I don’t often eat yogurt by itself, it is a fridge staple in my house. I use it frequently for cooking in place of mayo, or to add richness and moisture to baked goods. My new favorite thing is adding a packet of Hidden Valley® Greek Yogurt Dips Mix to  take plain greek yogurt to another level.

Sure you can just use it as a dip, but where’s the fun in that? I not only used this dip in place of tzatziki on these California chicken gyros, but I also used it the next day on some shrimp tacos. It’s majorly versatile.

What are you looking forward to grilling this summer? Keep Hidden Valley® Greek Yogurt Dips Mix in mind to add a bit of freshness to whatever you dream up.
