Preparing the Chicken Gyros

Begin by marinating the gyros chicken in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices. Roast the marinated chicken until it's perfectly cooked and tender. Slice the chicken for the gyros once it's cool enough to handle.

Making the French Fries

Cut potatoes into fries, and soak them in water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry. Deep fry in oil at 180°C until golden and crispy. Season with salt immediately after frying.

Preparing the Salad

Chop lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumber, and mix in a bowl. Dress the salad with olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste. The simplicity of the ingredients allows the freshness of the salad to shine through.

Assembling the Dish

On a platter, arrange the sliced chicken gyros, a side of French fries, and a helping of salad. If tzatziki sauce is being used, it can be served on the side or drizzled over the chicken to add a creamy, tangy flavor.

⭐️ Nutrition facts:

This meal is rich in protein from the chicken, providing the necessary amino acids for muscle repair and growth. The carbohydrates from the potatoes and salad vegetables offer energy, while the fats from the olive oil and potentially the tzatziki sauce contribute to satiety and flavor. Together, these macronutrients make for a well-rounded meal.
