Equipment

  • 1 grill pan or outdoor grill
  • 1 Mixing Bowl for marinade
  • 1 Whisk for tzatziki sauce

Ingredients
  

Chicken Gyro

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Tzatziki Sauce

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cucumber grated
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt to taste

Cucumber Tomato Salad

  • 1 cup diced cucumbers
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion diced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Add chicken breasts, coating them evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • In another bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Stir well and add salt to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • In a separate bowl, mix diced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to combine. Add salt, pepper, and crumbled feta cheese.
  • Preheat grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill marinated chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Let rest before slicing into strips.

Serving

  • Divide sliced chicken, a portion of tzatziki sauce, and cucumber tomato salad among four meal prep containers. Add a serving of quinoa or brown rice if desired.

Storage

  • Store meal prep boxes in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For best flavor, keep tzatziki sauce separate and add just before eating.
