If you like the traditional flavors of a Greek salad, you are going to love this bowl. I take chicken and marinate it in an easy homemade Greek dressing, then sauté it and slice it up.  It’s served over a bowl with either cauliflower rice or lettuce and all the classic Greek salad ingredients you know and love.

Top it off with a healthy dollop of a homemade Tzatziki sauce and lunch or dinner is served. This is such a flavorful Mediterranean style meal that anyone would be thrilled to have.

🔪 How to Make Greek Chicken Bowls

Prepare the Tzatziki sauce and chill it in the fridge to allow the flavors to meld, while you prepare the chicken.

Add the olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, dried dill, dijon mustard, grated garlic, salt and pepper to a mixing cup.

Whisk to combine, then pour into a food storage bag with your chicken.

Seal up the bag and marinate in the fridge for 1 hour.

Heat a large skillet to medium and add in your chicken.  Cook for several minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of at least 165°F.

While the chicken is cooking, chop up all the veggies and have them ready.

Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Take your serving bowls and add either cauliflower rice or lettuce, I chose to use cauliflower rice.  Then add the sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes and pepperoncini in sections.

Then add the cucumber, Kalamata olives, red onion, feta cheese (also in sections) and a dollop of the Tzatziki in the center and serve.

💡 Tips

• Don’t skip the marinade step.  The marinade gives the chicken some nice flavor and 1 hour works just fine.  If you need to marinate it longer, up to 4 hours is plenty.
• While you certainly don’t have to serve the ingredients in sections like I did, it does make a nicer presentation. If you’re in a hurry, you can certainly just toss everything together and place the chicken on top.
• Serve the chicken hot or warm.  This is why it’s always best to store the leftover chicken separately.  Then when you’re ready to serve it again, you can heat up the chicken, while keeping the veggies cold or at room temperature.
• You can also grill the chicken once it as marinated, instead of sautéing it if you’d like.
• Cut all your veggies in similar bite size pieces. This makes it easier to eat and you don’t have to cut everything up with each bite.

☑️ Storage Instructions

Store leftovers in airtight containers, keeping the chicken separate from the veggies, olives and cheese. Leftover chicken will last 3-4 days in the fridge.

🔄 Substitutions and Additions

• This same recipe will also work with steak or shrimp if you happen to have either on hand, rather than chicken. Cooking times will vary, depending on which you decide to use.
• The ingredients in this bowl are pretty traditional for a Greek salad, but you can certainly add or change anything that you want.
• If you’re not trying to keep the carbs low, you can add in some chickpeas.
• For a little extra freshness, you can add in some fresh herbs like dill or mint.  Mint is something I typically use in making Greek-inspired recipes. It really adds such a nice punch of flavor.
• If you don’t care for Tzatziki, you can leave that out and just use Greek Salad Dressing instead.
• If you’re not watching your carbs, you can also serve some pita on the side.

What sauce is best on a Greek bowl?

Tzatziki is the most traditional sauce, but as I mentioned above, if you don't care for it, you can use Greek Salad Dressing instead.

Is a Greek bowl healthy?

Most definitely! Not only are the ingredients in this Greek Chicken Bowl healthy, they are loaded with fresh veggies that are low in carbs and are all whole foods good for any diet.

How can I add more flavor to Greek chicken?

Many will just season and cook the chicken, but this recipe also marinates the chicken to give it even more flavor. You could also grill the chicken instead of sautéing it, if you wanted to.
