Ingredients

Scale

Marinade and Chicken

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Bowl Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cucumber, diced
  • ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • ½ cup tzatziki sauce
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them sit for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate overnight for a richer flavor infusion.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the marinated chicken breasts for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and thoroughly cooked. Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  4. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked rice or quinoa evenly into serving bowls as the base layer. Top each bowl with sliced chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.
  5. Add the Finishing Touches: Drizzle the tzatziki sauce over the bowls and garnish with fresh parsley to enhance flavor and presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy your Greek Chicken Gyro Bowls!

Notes

  • For extra protein, serve with a boiled egg or chickpeas.
  • You can substitute chicken breasts with thighs for juicier meat.
  • If you prefer a gluten-free option, ensure your tzatziki sauce and spice blends are gluten-free certified.
  • Leftover chicken and bowl components can be refrigerated separately for up to 3 days.
  • To add some crunch, sprinkle toasted pine nuts or slivered almonds on top.
