Instructions
1- Prepare the Brown Rice:
- Rinse the brown rice under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
2- Marinate and Cook the Chicken:
- Remove tendons from chicken tenders. In a bowl, mix yogurt, paprika, cumin, coriander, and chicken bouillon. Add chicken and coat well. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
- Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken until browned with grill marks, ensuring it is cooked through (about 5-7 minutes per side).
3- Marinate and Cook the Shrimp:
- In a bowl, combine shrimp with yogurt, seasonings, and cilantro. Coat well.
- Using the same skillet, add avocado oil and grill the shrimp until they turn pink and opaque (about 2-3 minutes per side).
4- Prepare the Tzatziki Sauce:
- Combine yogurt, shredded cucumber, lemon juice, dill, salt, red wine vinegar, and minced garlic. Mix well to integrate all flavors.
5- Prepare the Vegetable Salad:
- Dice cucumber, tomato, and red onion. Mix in a bowl with lime juice and a dash of black pepper.
6- Assemble the Gyro Bowl:
- In individual serving bowls, layer the cooked brown rice at the bottom.
- Top with grilled chicken and shrimp.
- Add a generous portion of vegetable salad.
- Drizzle with tzatziki sauce.
