Chicken gyros bowl
This Chicken gyros-inspired bowl packed a whopping 40g protein per serving — served with my legendary tzatziki that’s even higher in protein Optional: I like to serve it on a bed of crispy chips with sliced red onion and vine tomatoes on the side, so it’s basically like a deconstructed gyros!
Ingredients
For the chicken
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp paprika
100g 0% fat Greek yoghurt
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt to taste
600g boneless chicken thighs
For the tzatziki
500g 0% fat greek yoghurt
4 baby cucumbers, grated and drained
40g fresh dill, finely chopped
2 tsp dried mint
2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 lemon, juiced
2-3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus extra to top
About 1 tsp salt, or salt to taste
Pinch of paprika to top
Serves 3
Method
In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients for the chicken marinade.
Coat the chicken well and airfry at 185 degrees Celsius for 16-20 minutes, turning halfway through. (Time to cook depends on size of airfryer basket and if there’s enough space between the chicken pieces.)
Meanwhile, prepare the tzatziki and your choice of carbs. I went for chips, which I airfried for 10 minutes, along with thinly sliced red onion and chopped vine tomatoes.
