How to Boil Water: Slow Cooker Greek Chicken Gyros with Tzatziki

So I have decided to do a slow cooker version of HtBW this winter with ours wins and not so much because who doesn't love slow cooker meals? They are just awesome and make life so much easier. My favorite time to have them is on the weekend when I just don't want to cook. I want to relax and chill and not spend a ton of time in the kitchen cooking and cleaning.

Who doesn't love slow cooker meals?! I'm definitely a fan. However I've had some issues finding good ones that we want to have again. I was really hopeful about this one being a good one.

Basically we had mixed feelings about this one. Addison and Rob liked it. I so-so liked it. I wasn't a fan of the tzatziki. Greek yogurt just doesn't sit well with me. Plus it didn't help that the pita bread just fell apart - thanks HyVee for your terribly made homemade pita bread. It was basically impossible to even load the pita up all the way because it did just flake apart. It was sad.

I'm not sure if this was one we will try again. It might be better if we were able to load it with more chicken and veggies and less sauce, but all on a stronger pita bread.
