Greek Chicken Bowls are fresh and flavorful, combining marinated grilled chicken with vibrant veggies, herby grains, and creamy tzatziki. They’re perfect for a quick, healthy meal or weekly meal prep.

Ingredients

  • For the chicken marinade:
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1 tsp red wine vinegar
  • For the bowls:
  • 2 cups cooked rice, quinoa, couscous, or orzo
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 cup tzatziki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • Fresh parsley or dill, for garnish
  • Optional: lemon wedges, hummus, or pita bread

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes (up to 8 hours).
  2. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 5–6 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Let rest, then slice.
  3. Divide the cooked grains into serving bowls.
  4. Top each bowl with sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, olives, and feta cheese.
  5. Spoon tzatziki over the top and garnish with fresh herbs and optional lemon wedges.
  6. Serve immediately or store components separately for meal prep.

Notes

  • Swap chicken for falafel, grilled shrimp, or chickpeas for variation.
  • Use hummus or tahini instead of tzatziki for a different twist.
  • Roasted vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers add extra depth.
  • Turn into a wrap with pita or serve over greens for a salad bowl.
  • Top with chili oil or harissa for added heat.
