Equipment

  • large skillet
  • small food processor

Ingredients

Chicken Gyro

  • 1 lb chicken breasts, cubed
  • 3 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp dried basil
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper

Tzatziki Sauce

  • ½ cup plain greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic
  • ¼ cup cucumber, chopped
  • 2 Tbsp fresh dill
  • 1 Tbsp fresh cilantro
  • 3 Tbsp feta optional!

Optional Toppings

  • ¼ cup tomatoes, chopped
  • ¼ cup cucumber, diced
  • ½ cup cooked quinoa
  • ¼ cup kalamata olives
  • shredded romaine lettuce
  • 3 Tbsp red onions, diced
  • feta, crumbled

Instructions

  • Quickly marinate the chicken. You can do this for 10 minutes or up to 24 hours! 
    Add the cubed chicken breasts to a bowl, add seasonings, oil, lemon juice. Mix it together well and let it sit for a little while.
  • While the chicken marinates, prepare all the toppings, chop everything up and make the Tzatziki sauce. Set it aside.
  • To make the Tzatziki sauce, add all the ingredients to a small food processor. Blitz until well combined. Set aside for serving.
  • Cook the chicken in a hot oiled skillet. Cook it for about 12-15 minutes or until the internal heat hits 165º. If you are making the quinoa, cook it while the chicken is cooking
  • Assemble the bowls. Add everything to a bowl and dollop the Tzatziki sauce over the top, add chopped fresh herbs and enjoy. 

Notes

  • Don't overcook the chicken! It's always best to have a digital meat thermometer. This will help keep the chicken nice and juicy. 
  • Use your favorite toppings! The toppings I list are my FAVORITE with the flavors of the chicken and the bowl, however you can easily swap items or add avocado, chickpeas, roasted corn. The sky is the limit. 
  • Make It healthier. Skip the feta cheese and quinoa to cut some calories. 
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days (without the lettuce or taomtoes). You can freeze these for up to 2 months.
