Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Slice the chicken into thin strips.
Marinate in the Chicken Gyro Marinade with cottage cheese or yogurt in a large bowl. Ideally, marinate for 2 hours, but even 10-15 minutes while prepping will work.
Thinly slice the onion and bell pepper.
Sauté the onions in butter over medium-high heat until soft and golden. (This step adds extra flavor!)
Add the bell peppers and the marinated chicken, mixing well.
Transfer to a casserole dish (or keep in an oven-safe skillet).
Bake at 375°F (190 °C) for 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
Serve hot with homemade tzatziki sauce or your favorite keto sides!

Notes

Use full-fat cottage cheese for a richer, creamier marinade. Blend the cottage cheese for a smoother texture in the sauce. Don’t skip sautéing the onions—this enhances the depth of flavor. For a tangier marinade, add lemon juice and a tsp of lemon zest. Sprinkle with feta cheese before baking for a more authentic Greek flavor. Meal Prep Tip: Store in separate containers for easy reheating throughout the week.
