Equipment

  • large skillet
  • small food processor

Ingredients
  

Chicken Gyro

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

Tzatziki Sauce

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

Optional Toppings

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

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • 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 tomatoes). You can freeze these for up to 2 months.
