Recipe for Slow Cooker Chicken Gyros with Tzatiki Sauce

I’m a fan of all things pita lately.  I’ve found this really great brand of pita bread at Costco and am loving it!!  I whipped up these delicious chicken gyros in no time.  But don’t forget the best part…the Tzatziki sauce.  It’s a zesty yogurt-cucumber sauce that I love (even though I’m not a big fan of cucumbers).
