2 roma tomatoes seeded and finely diced

Instructions

To prepare chicken gyro meat:

Preheat oven to 400˚F.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water.
Cut each chicken thighs into 4-6 pieces, about 1½-2 inches wide, trimming off any excess fat or tissue.
In a large bowl, mix the yogurt, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, greek seasoning, and garlic together.
Place the chicken in the yogurt mixture and toss until the chicken is evenly coated.
Skewer the chicken tightly together onto four skewers.
Place chicken skewers on a greased baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165˚F.
Remove from oven and slide meat off of skewers.

To prepare herb rice:

Cook rice per package directions.
Once done, mix salt, lemon juice, parsley, and basil into the rice.

To assemble the bowls:

Combine the diced tomato, cucumber, and onion in a bowl and mix.
In each bowl, create a base of herb rice and romaine. Then top with chicken, cucumber tomato salsa, and crumbled feta cheese. Drizzle a tablespoon of tzatziki over each bowl.

Notes

These skewers can be topped with a drizzle of tzatziki, fresh lemon juice, chopped parsley, or crumbled feta cheese.
