How to Make Greek Chicken Bowls

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

How to Serve Greek Chicken Bowls

Serve Greek Chicken Bowls in individual bowls, making sure to have all the layers visible. You can add extra tzatziki sauce on the side for those who love a creamy touch. These bowls are perfect for both family dinners and meal prepping for the week.

How to Store Greek Chicken Bowls

If you have leftovers, store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator. The chicken and veggies can stay fresh for up to four days. Just keep the tzatziki sauce separate if you plan to store them for later.

Tips to Make Greek Chicken Bowls

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in olive oil, garlic powder, and oregano for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Feel free to mix in any other vegetables of your choice, such as spinach, avocado, or carrots, for added nutrition.
  • If you prefer a vegetarian option, replace the chicken with grilled halloumi cheese or roasted chickpeas.

Variation

You can switch out the quinoa or brown rice for cauliflower rice for a lower-carb option. Additionally, try adding a sprinkle of feta cheese on top of the bowls for an extra Greek flair.

FAQs

1. Can I make the tzatziki sauce in advance?
Yes, you can make the tzatziki sauce a day ahead. Just keep it covered in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve.

2. Is this recipe gluten-free?
Yes, the recipe is gluten-free as long as you use gluten-free quinoa or rice and ensure that all other ingredients are gluten-free.

3. Can I use other proteins instead of chicken?
Absolutely! You can use grilled shrimp, beef, or even tofu if you want a vegetarian option.
