    This Chicken Gyro Bowl with Rice is packed with so much wholesome goodness, and it's great for dinner, meal prep, or lunches. Using SEEDS OF CHANGE™️ Quinoa & Brown Rice with Garlic makes it super fast. (gluten free)

    This post has been sponsored by SEEDS OF CHANGE™️. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

    Chicken Gyro Bowl with cucumber

    We have a serious love of all foods Greek and Mediterranean at my house, and this Chicken Gyro Bowl with Rice is our new favorite. My kids love tender grilled smoky chicken like this one! We eat grilled chicken at least once a week in the summer.

    This Chicken Gyro Rice Bowl is extra special because I use one of my favorite shortcuts ⇉ SEEDS OF CHANGE™️ Quinoa and Brown Rice with Garlic!

    I love that they have an entire line of products to choose from as well! I don't always have time to make a huge batch of quinoa or brown rice at the beginning of the week, and now I don't have to.

    This Quinoa and Brown Rice with Garlic is so delicious and it's ready in 90 seconds. Yes, that's what I said. 90 seconds. 

    I love that it's convenient, but I don't have to sacrifice flavor. It's packed with garlic, and even my kids love it. Since it's organic, I can feel good about feeding it to my family. 

     

    AND, if that wasn't enough, 1% of all profits to helping communities enjoy real food grown from seeds. How great is that?

    I found my Quinoa & Brown Rice at my local Safeway in the rice aisle. I love shopping at Safeway, and the mobile app is full of great coupons. I always feel like I get the best price there.

    This Chicken Gyro Bowl is perfect for a quick dinner or for meal-prepped lunches during the week. Marinating the chicken in a yogurt lemon marinade makes it tender and flavorful. I use small chicken breasts and pound them out so they cook quickly and stay tender. Watch them carefully on the grill; it should take about 8-10 minutes per side.

    The bowls are so easy to put together by layering the Quinoa & Brown Rice on the bottom, along with the grilled chicken gyro, tomatoes, cucumbers, feta, herbs, and tzatziki sauce.

    It's the perfect summer dinner!

    Quinoa and Brown Rice with Garlic is infinitely adaptable. I use it to throw together quick lunches and dinners all the time. Add in any protein and roasted vegetables, and you have a wholesome meal in a jiffy.

    You are going to be so glad you discovered this awesome shortcut!
