Chicken Kebabs with Brown Rice and Homemade Tzatziki

Chicken Kebabs with Brown Rice and Homemade Tzatziki

I love trying out new recipes and different types of food. Since we are gluten free I find it easier to try and cook naturally gluten free foods. They are typically a lot cheaper and much healthier then store bought or processed gluten free products.

One recipe that we tried out recently is the Chicken kebabs with brown rice and homemade tzatziti. I love this meal because there are so many different variations - different herb mixtures, different meats, veggies or fruits. It is easy to tailor to your families likes.
