Greek Chicken Bowls

This Greek Chicken Bowl is fresh, filling and packed with so much flavor. Seasoned chicken is served with rice or quinoa, crisp romaine, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, feta and Kalamata olives, then finished with a simple homemade Greek yogurt sauce. It has a little bit of everything in every bite without feeling too heavy.

I love meals like this because everyone can build their bowl exactly how they like it. It’s perfect for an easy weeknight dinner, but it also works really well for meal prep since you can keep everything separate and put the bowls together when you’re ready to eat. Fresh, colorful and definitely a nice change from the usual dinner rotation.
