I think I’m going to request these for my last meal…. Well…maybe sooner : ) I LOVE this meal.  I actually prefer them over authentic “chicken gyros”.  It’s simple, easy , and the flavors are fresh and delicious.  If you have to, use tortillas or pita bread, but it really is best with the soft wrap bread .  And the bread is SO simple and easy to make. Trust me, you’ll thank me.  The chicken marinade and lemon dressing was adapted from a Cook’s Country Magazine recipe. You skewer the marinated chicken with red onion and grill, then drizzle with the dressing. It’s wonderful that way too, but it makes for a great chicken wrap as well.  And the lemon dressing is totally optional, it’s taste great without it too.  And sorry if the picture is slightly blurry, I was in a hurry to eat dinner. : )
