# Instructions:
01 -
In a small bowl, combine 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup grated cucumber, 2 tbsp fresh dill, 1 clove minced garlic, 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, and 1/4 tsp salt. Stir well until thoroughly mixed. Refrigerate the creamy tzatziki swirl to allow flavors to meld for your Greek Chicken Gyro Bowl.
02 -
Cut 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 1-inch bite-sized pieces. In a medium bowl, toss the chicken with 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prep other ingredients.
03 -
Chop 1 head romaine lettuce, dice 1 large cucumber, halve 1 pint cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice 1/2 small red onion. These crisp veggies form the refreshing base of your Greek Chicken Gyro Bowl | High Protein Meal Prep.
04 -
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, lightly browned, and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
05 -
Divide the chopped romaine lettuce evenly among 4 meal prep containers or bowls. Top each with equal portions of the diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion, creating a vibrant foundation.
06 -
Evenly distribute the cooked chicken over the veggie base in each bowl. Sprinkle 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese over the chicken and vegetables, adding a salty, tangy finish to your Greek Chicken Gyro Bowl.
07 -
Spoon or drizzle a generous amount of the prepared creamy tzatziki swirl over each Greek Chicken Gyro Bowl | High Protein Meal Prep. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for a delicious and healthy meal throughout the week.
# Notes:
01 -
Store assembled bowls in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For best freshness, store the tzatziki separately and add just before serving.
02 -
Feel free to substitute boneless, skinless chicken thighs for breasts for a juicier texture, adjusting cooking time as needed. Ground chicken or turkey also works well.
03 -
For an extra flavor boost, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight, in the refrigerator.
04 -
While designed as a bowl, these ingredients are also fantastic wrapped in warm pita bread for a more traditional gyro experience.
