  3. Finish off the bowls with a dollop of tzatziki sauce. Serve immediately and watch everyone dig in!

Notes

You can use turkey instead of chicken for a different flavor profile. Make sure not to overcook the chicken to keep it juicy. Store leftovers in an airtight container; they will stay fresh for about 3 days.
