Greek chicken bowls are a fresh, flavorful, and satisfying meal made with marinated grilled chicken, grains, crisp vegetables, creamy tzatziki, and Mediterranean toppings. Perfect for lunch, dinner, or meal prep.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups cooked rice, quinoa, or couscous
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/3 cup kalamata olives
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup tzatziki sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • Fresh parsley or dill for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
  2. Coat the chicken in the marinade and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 8 hours.
  3. Cook the chicken in a skillet or grill pan over medium heat for 6–8 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Let rest and slice.
  4. Prepare the base (rice, quinoa, or couscous) and chop the vegetables.
  5. Assemble the bowls with grains, sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and feta.
  6. Top with tzatziki and garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.

Notes

  • Swap grains with leafy greens for a low-carb version.
  • Use grilled shrimp, falafel, or roasted chickpeas for variation.
  • Add hummus or red pepper flakes for extra flavor and texture.
  • Store components separately for fresh meal prep.
  • Use plant-based yogurt and omit feta for a dairy-free option.
