Directions

1. Cook the Rice

Rinse rice under cold water until clear.

In a saucepan, bring chicken broth to a boil.

Add rice and olive oil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 15–18 minutes until tender.

Remove from heat and fluff with a fork. Stir in parsley and a pinch of salt.

2. Marinate & Cook the Chicken

In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice and zest, garlic, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.

Coat chicken thoroughly and marinate 20–30 minutes.

Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Cook chicken 5–6 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked (internal temperature 165°F / 74°C).

Let rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly.

3. Prepare the Whipped Garlic Feta

In a bowl or food processor, combine feta, Greek yogurt, garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice.

Blend or whisk until smooth and creamy.

Add warm water gradually until silky and drizzleable.

4. Assemble the Bowls

Top with sliced gyro chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, romaine, red onion, and olives.

Spoon or drizzle whipped garlic feta over the top.

5. Serve
