Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1 pound Chicken Breast A lean protein source; swap for thighs if preferred.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Keep chicken moist; avocado oil makes a great substitute.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Fresh minced garlic infuses robust flavor.
For the Tzatziki Sauce
  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt Provides a creamy base; use sour cream as a substitute.
  • 1 medium Cucumber Add a refreshing crunch; grated cucumber works best.
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice Brightens up flavors; lime juice can be used instead.
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Dill Enhances the tzatziki’s taste; fresh mint is an alternative.
For the Bowls
  • 2 cups Mixed Vegetables (bell peppers, tomatoes, red onions) A colorful addition; customize with favorite veggies.
  • 4 pieces Pita Bread A perfect accompaniment; try lettuce wraps for a low-carb twist.

Equipment

  • Grill or Skillet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Meat thermometer

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a bowl, combine the chicken breast with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Ensure the chicken is well-coated in the marinade. Cover and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight.
  2. Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let it rest before slicing.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, chopped fresh dill, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well-distributed.
  4. Assemble your Chicken Gyro Bowls by layering sliced chicken, mixed vegetables, and topping with tzatziki sauce.
  5. Warm pita bread on the grill or stovetop until soft and slightly toasted. Serve alongside your chicken gyro bowls.
