    Oh WOW! Your Chicken Gyros looks amazing. What I love about cooking is how you can have so many different takes on a dish. When I make this, I also add chips, greek salad and like you, Tzatsiki sauce in the wrap. Great job MD, I love your presenting style and your dishes. Keep doing what you do.

    Hi! You can use mushrooms and even zucchini to sauté in the skillet instead of chicken. But I am not sure you should marinate them in yogurt. No need for the vegetarian option, but you can use the same spices for flavor. Makes sense?

    Hi just found your channel after looking for Mediterranean cooking, your chicken looks delicious love the marinade. Not sure why there is the most irritating music attached this video but it detracts from the beautiful meal you have put together and to be honest if it wasn't that the meal looked so great I probably would not have watched to the end because the music was just so annoying and it is repetitive. I have subscribed to your channel and will be looking at. Your other videos but please get rid of the noise of the "music" it does not add anything to your video/vlog. Thank you
