Greek Chicken Bowls are a vibrant and nutritious meal featuring lemon-herb marinated chicken, fresh vegetables, rice or grains, and creamy tzatziki. This Mediterranean-inspired dish is packed with flavor and perfect for meal prep or easy weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

  • For the chicken marinade:
    • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
    • 3 tbsp olive oil
    • 2 tbsp lemon juice
    • 3 garlic cloves, minced
    • 1 tsp dried oregano
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 1/4 tsp black pepper
    • 1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
  • For the bowls:
    • 2 cups cooked white rice, brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice
    • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
    • 1 cucumber, diced
    • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
    • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives
    • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
    • 2 cups romaine lettuce or mixed greens
    • 1/2 cup tzatziki sauce
    • Fresh parsley or dill for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken: In a bowl or zip-top bag, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and paprika. Add chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes, up to overnight.
  2. Cook the chicken: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken 5–6 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp of 165°F). Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
  3. Assemble the bowls: Add a base of rice or grains to each bowl. Top with sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, feta, and greens.
  4. Add sauce: Spoon tzatziki over the bowl and sprinkle with fresh herbs if desired.
  5. Serve: Serve immediately, or refrigerate for meal prep.

Notes

  • For meal prep, store components separately and assemble just before eating.
  • Use cauliflower rice for a low-carb version.
  • Swap chicken for chickpeas, grilled veggies, or falafel for a vegetarian option.
