In this recipe, we utilize boneless, skinless chicken thighs, which are the star of the show. One of the main advantages of using chicken thighs over chicken breasts is their rich flavor and tenderness. Thighs are inherently juicier and have a higher fat content, which helps to keep them moist during cooking. When marinated, the chicken thighs absorb the flavors beautifully, resulting in a succulent bite every time. Additionally, chicken thighs are often more affordable than breasts, making them a practical choice for home cooks.

Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons dried oregano

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup cooked brown rice or quinoa

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cucumber, diced

1 red onion, thinly sliced

1 cup shredded lettuce

1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/2 cup Tzatziki sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs and coat well with the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator for more flavor.

    Cook the Chicken: Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken thighs. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is nicely charred. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes, then slice into strips.

      Prepare the Bowls: In serving bowls, layer the cooked brown rice or quinoa at the bottom. Top with sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, shredded lettuce, and crumbled feta cheese.

        Finish with Tzatziki: Drizzle a generous amount of tzatziki sauce over each bowl, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

          Serve and Enjoy: Mix everything together before eating, or enjoy each ingredient separately. These gyro bowls are a delightful combination of flavors and textures!
