Enjoy the flavors of classic chicken gyros in a wholesome bowl with fluffy rice and creamy tzatziki.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs Chicken Breast (680g, sliced into thin strips)
  • 1 tbsp Dried Oregano (15g)
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder (5g)
  • 1.5 cups White Rice (285g, dry weight)
  • 1 large English Cucumber (300g, diced)
  • 1 pint Cherry Tomatoes (250g, halved)
  • 1/2 large Red Onion (thinly sliced)
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata Olives (75g, pitted)
  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt (245g, full-fat)
  • 3 tbsp Olive Oil (45ml, divided)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced chicken breast, dried oregano, garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss everything until the chicken is well-coated, and let it marinate while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
  2. Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Add the white rice and a sprinkle of salt. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until all the water has been absorbed. Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork and set aside.
  3. Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken strips. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat.
  4. Prepare the Tzatziki: In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with diced cucumbers, a pinch of salt, and a splash of olive oil. Mix well.
  5. Assemble the Bowls: In each serving bowl, layer a generous scoop of fluffy rice, then top it with the sautéed chicken. Add a handful of diced cucumbers, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onions, and Kalamata olives. Finish with a dollop of tzatziki on top.

Notes

Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes for more flavor. Fluff your rice gently after cooking to prevent it from becoming mushy.
