Description

These Easy Greek Chicken Bowls are fresh, flavorful, and perfect for meal prep or a healthy weeknight dinner. Packed with juicy marinated chicken, crisp veggies, and a creamy tzatziki sauce—all served over rice or quinoa. Simple ingredients, big Mediterranean flavors!

Ingredients

For the Chicken:

  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • Juice of 1 lemon

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the Bowls:

  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 1 cucumber, diced

  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, sliced

  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

For the Tzatziki Sauce:

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt

  • 1/2 cucumber, grated and squeezed dry

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken:
    In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, red wine vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (up to 4 hours).

  2. Cook the Chicken:
    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5–6 minutes per side or until fully cooked and golden. Let rest, then slice.

  3. Make the Tzatziki Sauce:
    In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  4. Assemble the Bowls:
    Divide rice or quinoa into 4 bowls. Top with sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and feta. Drizzle with tzatziki sauce and sprinkle with fresh parsley if using.

Notes

  • Great for meal prep—store components separately for best freshness.

  • Swap rice for cauliflower rice to make it low-carb.

 

  • Try it with grilled chicken thighs for extra flavor
