Greek Chicken Bowls

Print Recipe

Bright and balanced Greek Chicken Bowls featuring marinated grilled chicken, fresh veggies, and creamy tzatziki sauce.

Ingredients

  • 2–3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1–1.5 lb)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
  • 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tbsp)
  • 1 medium cucumber (for bowls) + ½ cucumber (grated for tzatziki)
  • 2 medium tomatoes, diced
  • ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ⅓ cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Prepared tzatziki sauce (homemade or store-bought)

Instructions

  1. Make the marinade: whisk 3 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Add chicken breasts and turn to coat. Marinate at least 30 minutes in the fridge (up to 6 hours).
  2. Cook the chicken: preheat grill to medium-high, or oven to 400°F. Grill chicken 6–8 minutes per side or bake 20–25 minutes, until the thickest part reads 165°F. Let rest 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
  3. Prepare tzatziki: grate ½ cucumber, squeeze out excess moisture with paper towel. Stir together 1 cup Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, 1 small clove minced garlic, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon chopped dill, and salt to taste. Chill 10–15 minutes to meld.
  4. Assemble bowls: start with a base (rice, quinoa, or greens). Add chopped cucumber, diced tomato, sliced red onion, kalamata olives and crumbled feta in sections for color. Top with sliced chicken, drizzle extra olive oil if you like, and spoon tzatziki over each bowl. Serve immediately.

Notes

Great for meal prep; keep tzatziki separate to avoid sogginess.
