Greek Chicken Bowl Recipe
This recipe was inspired by two recipes from Natasha’s Kitchen Cookbook. We took the chicken from our Mediterranean Chicken Salad and combined it with our Classic Greek Salad (also from the cookbook!). These Greek salad bowls are healthy, hearty, fresh, and satisfying. This Greek Chicken Bowl is similar to something we ordered in a local authentic Greek restaurant – that’s where we got inspired to add the Homemade Pita Bread! Just like with our Fish Taco Bowls or Egg Roll in a Bowl, this recipe is great for feeding family or friends, or you can use your favorite storage containers to meal prep for the week. This recipe makes four chicken tzatziki bowls loaded with flavorful elements that will leave you full and satisfied. I promise you’ll never tire of these delicious flavors.

Ingredients for Greek Chicken Bowls
You don’t need any fancy ingredients for this salad bowl, but loading it with the freshest ingredients is key.
For the Greek Chicken
Chicken – boneless, skinless breasts. Provides lean protein and serves as the main component of the dish. Slicing the breasts lengthwise into cutlets helps them cook evenly and quickly. Olive Oil – extra virgin to marinate the chicken. Seasonings – all you need is dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper for a classic Mediterranean flavor profile.
Greek Salad Bowl Ingredients
Tomatoes – cherry tomatoes, halved, or chopped heirloom tomatoes provide juicy, tangy flavor and a pop of color. Cucumber – 1/2 English cucumber, or 2 garden cucumbers, sliced for crunch and freshness Bell Pepper – Adds a sweet crunch. Avocado – Provides a creamy and smooth texture which balances the other crisp ingredients. Red Onion – Adds a sharp, slightly sweet flavor, a bit of crunch, and vibrant color. Kalamata Olives – Brings a briny, savory note to enhance the Mediterranean flavor profile. Feta Cheese – Adds a tangy, salty flavor
Olive Oil and Lemon – Drizzle with olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to add a bright, zesty contrast to the savory flavors of the Greek chicken. Tzatziki Sauce – Our homemade tzatziki sauce is unbeatable, but store-bought works just as well in a pinch. Pita Bread – Homemade pita bread is easy to make and adds a fresh touch, but store-bought is also a great option. Omit for a gluten-free version, and check out the substitutions below to bulk up your bowls.
How to Make Greek Chicken Bowls
Make the tzatziki sauce then slice and chop the rest of your bowl veggies and toppings.
Enjoy this crisp and satisfying Greek Chicken Bowl, a perfect blend of fresh flavors and hearty ingredients that will leave you craving it again and again. It’s easier than booking a flight to Greece, yet just as delicious as if you were there!
Protein: Swap out the chicken for Pan Seared Steak, or Grilled Steak, or Grilled Shrimp Gluten-Free: To make a gluten-free bowl, cooked White Rice, Quinoa, or Cauliflower Rice are great options to bulk up the bowls without using pita bread. Vegetables: Add your favorite raw vegetables, just about anything works with the mild flavor of tzatziki sauce. Try chickpeas, radishes, artichoke hearts, carrots julienne, white onion, broccoli, peperoncini, or spinach. Hummus: A great way to add protein, fiber, and healthy fats to your meal. Fresh Herbs: Scallions and dill are great as a garnish.
Chicken: Marinate up to 8 hours in advance, or cook and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Tzatziki: Prepare a few days ahead, cover, and store in the refrigerator. If there is any separation in the sauce, simply stir before serving. Veggies: Chop and refrigerate several hours before serving. Meal Prep: Cook once and eat all week! Assemble all ingredients in meal prep containers, drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, then cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 days. Store tzatziki and pita bread in separate containers, adding salt, pepper, tzatziki, and pita bread just before serving.
