How To Serve This Homemade Chicken Gyros
Like most Mediterranean recipes this chicken dish is great to put on the dinner table and share with the whole family. Simply keep all separate parts in separate bowls/plates and assemble your gyros right there on the table. Food always tastes better when it’s shared with others.
Meal Prep Tips
While this recipe is perfect to share with others, it shouldn’t stop you from making it for the week ahead if you’re on your own.
To meal prep, this chicken gyros recipe simply cook the chicken as described in the recipe and prepare the tzatziki. Then keep them in separate containers. Slice cucumbers, onions, use whole cherry tomatoes and olives instead of preparing the salad (it will not taste great even within a day, because it gets soggy).
Warm a tortilla or a pita when it’s dinner time and enjoy!
Making it easier
Homemade is of course always better, but if you’re someone who has absolutely no time, you can cheat with this recipe and get store-bought tzatziki and pre-cooked chicken and assemble this for a quick 10-minute dinner or lunch at work.
