Greek Chicken Bowls

Directions:

Marinate the chicken breast in olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and oregano for at least 30 minutes. This helps infuse all those delicious flavors.
Grill or pan-cook the chicken until cooked through and golden brown. It should be juicy and tender!
Meanwhile, prepare the tzatziki sauce by mixing grated cucumber, yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, and salt. This is a game-changer for flavor!
Chop the fresh veggies: cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion. Keep them nice and vibrant.
Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This helps keep the chicken juicy.
In a bowl, layer the cooked chicken, chopped veggies, and tzatziki sauce over rice or quinoa if you’re using it. The more, the merrier!
Top with crumbled feta cheese and serve. Enjoy every bite!

how to serve Greek Chicken Bowls

Serving is so much fun! You can let everyone customize their own bowl. Stack it up with the chicken, colorful veggies, creamy tzatziki, and a sprinkle of feta on top. It’s like a little flavor explosion in each bite. Set out extra lemon wedges for a refreshing squeeze on top.

how to store Greek Chicken Bowls

If you have leftovers, no problem! Store your Greek Chicken Bowls in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll stay fresh for about 3 days. Just keep the tzatziki separate if possible, to keep everything nice and crisp. Reheat the chicken gently on the stove or microwave.

tips to make Greek Chicken Bowls

Letting the chicken marinate longer is always a good idea, if you have the time. It intensifies the flavor.
Swap in grilled veggies for a delicious twist. Bell peppers and zucchini are great choices.
If you’re dairy-free, you can skip the feta or use a dairy-free alternative.

variation (if any)

Feel free to use different proteins! Shrimp or lamb works beautifully with this dish. Just adjust the cooking time accordingly. You can also make it vegetarian by using chickpeas instead of chicken.
