Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to assemble your gyro bowls:
- Start by marinating the chicken. In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add chicken, turning to coat. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
- Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until it’s cooked through and juices run clear. Let it rest before slicing.
- While the chicken is cooking, prepare your sauce. In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, dill, olive oil, and lemon juice. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Assemble the bowls: Start with a base of brown rice, then layer on the sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and feta cheese.
- Drizzle with the yogurt sauce and serve immediately. Enjoy the vibrant flavors and textures in every bite!
