Easy Greek Chicken Bowls

Meal in a Bowl

So what goes in a Greek Chicken Bowl? All of your favorite Greek flavors in one big bowl. These bowls are loaded with goodness. You start with marinated lemon oregano chicken and your favorite grain. You can use rice, quinoa, or farro. If you want the bowls to be low carb and want even more veggies, you can even use cauliflower rice.

Next, add all of the fun toppings. These bowls are all about the toppings!

You can also add hummus and serve pita chips on top for a little crunch or serve fresh, warm pita bread on the side. These bowls are very customizable. And if you want the bowls to be vegetarian, you can leave out the chicken and add chickpeas.

Meal Prep

If you want to prep the bowls in advance, you certainly can. We like to prep all of the ingredients on Sunday so the bowls are ready to go and just hanging out in the fridge until you are ready to eat.

You can cook the chicken and your grain of choice in advance. Store in a container in the fridge. You can also chop up all of the vegetables and make the tzatziki in advance. You can store all of the ingredients individually or portion them out into meal containers to grab and go for the week. Just don’t put the tzatziki sauce on the bowls until you are ready to eat. The ingredients will be good in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can prep on Sunday and eat all week!

If you are trying to eat healthy and want a really good meal waiting for you, meal prep these chicken bowls. You will be SO glad you took the time to do a little prep!

Ingredients
  

For the chicken:

For the bowls:

  • 2 cups cooked cauliflower rice regular rice, or quinoa
  • 2 cups grape tomatoes halved
  • 2 cups chopped cucumber
  • 1 cup kalamata olives pitted and sliced
  • 1/2 red onion sliced
  • 1 cup tzatziki sauce
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Lemon wedges for serving
  • Pita chips optional
  • Fresh dill and parsley for garnish, optional

Instructions
 

  • For the chicken: In a gallon size Ziploc bag, combine chicken breasts, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper. Marinate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour, turning the bag occasionally.
  • When ready to cook the chicken, brush grill grates or a grill pan with olive oil and heat to medium high heat. Remove the chicken from the bag and discard the marinade.
  • Place chicken breasts on grill and grill about 5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the chicken. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and registers 165 degrees in the center, using an instant read thermometer. Remove the chicken from the grill or grill pan and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Slice the chicken into think slices and set aside.
  • To assemble the Greek bowls: divide the cauliflower rice or quinoa among 4 bowls. Top with sliced chicken, tomatoes, cucumber, olives, red onion, tzatziki sauce, and feta cheese. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the top. Tuck pita chips into the side of the bowl, if using. Garnish with dill and parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.

  1. This bowl is classic! I’m always trying to make different styles of salad for every breakfast as salad is super healthy, versatile and quick to make. Happy meal~ xD

    This looks SO good!  I would swap the olives out for capers (I am so not an olive person!) but I think capers would be right at home in this deliciousness!

  3. would couscous work instead of the rice, qunioa, or farro…….

    looks amazing and its a good thing we already planned to have something similar already that can be turned into these.

    This was incredible! The chicken was tender and the flavors went together perfectly. Didn’t have olives so used marinated artichoke hearts. Definitely putting this on the rotation. Thanks!

    The chicken marinade is DELICIOUS! And luckily I had a grill pan so the char on the chicken gave it such a great flavor and texture. This is going to be become a weeknight staple in my house.

  11. I just made this as I go back to work soon- this was great!!!! The marinade made the chicken thighs that I used so juicy and delicious! Thank you for your recipe.

    While discussing what we should eat for dinner, lady and I found this gem of a recipe and, she excitedly began prepping it. We substituted the lemon for orange and crushed red pepper for Korean chili flakes. This was our first time cooking this dish and it came out amazing! I say ‘we’, but she was doing the heavy lifting in the kitchen lol. My lady is a real keeper and so is this recipe.

    Highly recommend y’all try this recipe. It is going into our cooking rotation. Thanks a million for posting it!

    This recipe is amazing! Sometimes if I know I’m having a busy day, I throw all the chicken ingredients into the crockpot and we have shredded chicken in our bowls instead of grilled. We could eat this every week and never tire of it!!

  15. I was surprised to read that this is a salad. How can I make it a hot meal? It looks lovely. Is there enough sauce for rice?
