Gyro keto bowl

Greek food is known for its intense, savory and fresh flavors, this bowl has it all and is also perfect for the keto diet, since it has olives, feta cheese and a delicious Greek yogurt sauce

Hi guys! Today I wanted to share a popular Greek recipe: chicken gyros. A gyro is basically a wrap or bread (like pita bread) filled with meat, usually pork or chicken with vegetables like onion and tomatoes. It also comes with the very Mediterranean sauce tzatziki, which you can learn how to make here: Tzatziki.

Of course, we are not going to eat it with pita bread so I thought I could make a gyro bowl with all the awesome fatty ingredients from a regular gyro but without the bread.

Chicken marinade

  • 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 Tsp dill
  • 1 Tsp oregano
  • 1 Tsp smoked paprika

  1. Let's start preparing the chicken marinade. In a bowl put the oregano, dill, black pepper, a little salt, the smoked paprika, the lemon juice and the olive oil. Mix well and set aside while we prepare the chicken.
  2. Cut the chicken into bite size slices. Mix the chicken with the marinade, mix well and let it rest for about three hours. If you can, let it rest overnight in the fridge.
  3. In a pan at high heat, fry the chicken until it's completely cooked.
  4. To serve you can place some lettuce on the bottom of a plate, and then arrange all the ingredients on top. Feel free to change or omit some of the ingredients.
