#FosterFarmsFresh chicken dip gyro main dish recipe sauce tzatziki veggies

Easy Chicken Gyros with Tzatziki Sauce

Easy Chicken Gyros with Tzatziki Sauce #FosterFarmsFresh AD | Mama Harris' KitchenOne thing I love about living in California is the diversity in our food. There are so many different cultures that span all across California, and it’s evident in all of the restaurants and grocery stores as well as the food options. I think this is great, because there’s such a variety of foods to try and taste, which of course helps to expand your palate. What I also love about California is the availability of farms that are local to the area, like Foster Farms. There’s a new line of products that Foster Farms is introducing, including the Simply Raised antibiotic free chicken that I’m using for this sponsored post and recipe I’ve developed with the Simply Raised boneless chicken breast.

If you’re not already familiar with Foster Farms chicken, they have been family owned and operated since 1939 and is the West Coast’s leading poultry producer. There’s been a major update which features new packaging, new logo and three new quality products. There’s truly something for everybody. The Simply Raised line is available now at all major markets and retailers with the Organic line is available at Costco and select stores.

Today I’m sharing a recipe reminiscent of my California upbringing and the diverse foods that can be found all over. I decided to make some easy chicken gyros with a homemade creamy tzatziki sauce that’s perfect for spooning on top of the gyros or even dipping sliced vegetables into. I used the Simply Raised Foster Farms chicken which was already cut into Thin Sliced Breast Fillets. What I love about the Foster Farms Simply Raised line is that there are no antibiotics administered, ever. It’s also 100% vegetarian feed, American Humane Certified. Produced with no added sodium and Simply Raised is locally grown throughout California, Oregon and Washington and is available for $6.49/lb.

I enjoyed this dish because it’s simple. Basic ingredients that create a delicious result. Colorful and chock full of vegetables, it’s a great compliment to the simplicity of the Foster Farms Simply Raised chicken. Of course you can add or remove ingredients as needed if they aren’t your thing, but this is a simple weeknight meal that is sure to impress your family!

    When I left California the first thing I did was buy a Mediterranean cookbook. I do so miss the California food and lifestyle!

    That’s a nice looking dish. Do you know if Foster Farms chickens are cage free? Love the idea of organic and vegetarian fed, just curious about the rest of the environment… I need to try this recipe out soon!

    I make chicken gyros at home, too. My recipe, however, is a bit different. Yours looks good.

    Everything good comes from California. I grew eating Foster Farms; they are my go-to brand for poultry.

    I am a veggie so would leave the chicken out, but everything else looks delicious 🙂

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
