The word gyro<\/em> comes from the Greek for “turn” or “revolution.” It’s named for the spit where the meat is traditionally slow-cooked on an axel until it’s gloriously juicy and crispy all at the same time. When I set out to make this Greek Gyro Bowl, I wanted all the good parts of that golden slow-roasted meat, but with a lighter and more fuss-free approach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trick to making lean, healthy protein as juicy as the 2 a.m. street gyro situation is a really good marinade. And this Greek yogurt marinade pulls double-duty, tenderizing the meat while infusing it with a big Mediterranean flavor that never disappoints. It’s delicately spicy, slightly earthy, very aromatic, and, of course, boldly garlicky and tangy! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, serving the tender chicken with traditional Greek salad<\/a> means it’s low-carb, super fresh, and filled with healthy nutrients and vibrant texture. And it tastes just as good–if not better–the next day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
