These Greek Chicken Bowls are a vibrant, Mediterranean-inspired meal featuring marinated grilled chicken, fresh vegetables, creamy tzatziki, and warm pita bread. It's a nutritious and flavorful dish perfect for lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

1 lb chicken breast (2 boneless, skinless breasts, sliced into 4 cutlets)

2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 ½ tsp dried oregano leaves

½ tsp fine sea salt

½ tsp freshly ground black pepper

½ tsp garlic powder

2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

½ English cucumber, sliced

1 bell pepper, chopped

1 avocado, chopped

¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced

½ cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced

6 oz feta cheese (about 1 cup diced)

1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil (for drizzling)

1 lemon, cut into wedges

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

1 cup tzatziki sauce (or more to taste)

4 pieces pita bread, cut into wedges

Instructions

  1. Make the tzatziki sauce (if not using store-bought) and prepare the vegetables and toppings by slicing and chopping as needed.
  2. In a large zip-top bag, combine the chicken cutlets with olive oil, oregano, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Seal and toss to evenly coat.
  3. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes, then slice into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Divide the chicken, tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, avocado, red onion, olives, and feta cheese into 4 shallow bowls.
  5. Drizzle with olive oil, squeeze lemon juice over the top, and season with salt and pepper. Top with tzatziki sauce and serve with pita wedges.

Notes

Store components separately to keep ingredients fresh for meal prep.

Use grilled chicken thighs for a juicier variation.

Add quinoa, couscous, or rice for a more filling bowl.

For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free feta and tzatziki or omit them.

To keep avocado fresh, add just before serving or toss in lemon juice.
