Pro Tips for Success

• Make sure to season your chicken well with salt, pepper, and any other spices you love before grilling.
• Control the heat on your grill for evenly cooked chicken. Too high, and you might char the outside while the inside stays pink.
• For a delightful crunch, chop your veggies just before serving.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftovers in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. If you want to keep them for longer, you can freeze the bowls without the tzatziki sauce. To reheat, simply warm in the microwave or on the stovetop until heated through, then add fresh sauce for that perfect touch.
