Greek Chicken Bowls

If you haven’t noticed by now, I’m a huge fan of simple meals with huge flavor. This recipe for Greek Chicken Bowls is just that - a perfect combination of flavors, textures and colors and quickly comes together for a simple, healthy lunch or dinner option.

How to make a delicious rice bowl

I’ll admit, once in a while I like to make a more extravagant meal, but for the most part, I like things to be simple and focus on bringing out the amazing qualities of each and every ingredient.

These Greek Chicken Bowls are a perfect example of that – they feature some of my favorite ingredients, like olives and artichokes, with a wholesome base of grains and greens, and the best lemon oregano dressing on earth. 

And they’re perfect for those who like to meal prep because you can just toss the ingredients in storage containers – even the dressing – and grab them before running out the door in the morning. 

And voila! A perfectly wholesome lunch that has loads of flavor (and nutrients).

What does in these rice bowls

As mentioned, we have a handful of greens (spinach, kale, mustard greens, whatever you have one hand), tender herbed chicken breast, crisp cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, briny olives and artichokes (load up on these!), salty feta and adorable micro greens, if you wish. 

And the dressing takes just a few minutes to whip up – fresh lemon, red wine vinegar, oregano, honey, olive oil – and you’ll never ever want a bottled dressing again.

Time saving grains

The star of the show is the earthy, perfectly chewy brown rice and quinoa. You can do either/or but I like to combine them because they have different textures. And the quinoa adds a bit more protein!

If you're in a pinch, you can use microwavable grains because then you can have a delicious lunch bowl ready in no-time!

These types of shortcuts are a must-have, in my mind. They're just as nutritious as the rice that takes almost an hour to cook on the stove-top!

Talk about the perfect combination of flavors, textures and colors (and ease!).  Lunch is no longer boring, folks.
