Greek Chicken Bowls (Meal Prep Easy)

boneless (skinless chicken breasts)

olive oil

Tbs garlic (minced (Note, adjust to preference))

lemon juice

Tbs red wine vinegar

Tbs oregano

plain Greek yogurt

salt and black pepper (to taste)

cucumbers

Tbs minced garlic

oregano

English cucumber (finely diced)

tsp garlic

Tbs dill weed (or 1 Tbs fresh dill, chopped fine)

lemon

tsp chopped fresh mint (optional)

Salt and pepper

brown rice

cherry tomatoes (halved)

onion

In a large plastic zip bag, combine olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, oregano, greek yogurts and salt and pepper. Massage to mix.

Add chicken into the bag.

Massage to make sure chicken is full covered and marinate for at least 20 minutes, up to 12 hours.

Drain the chicken from the marinade, discarding the marinade.

In a skillet, heat some olive oil over medium-high heat.

I used my Anolon Skillet which I love because it heats evenly, is metal utensil friendly, and can be used in the oven up to 400 degrees.

Add chicken when it is hot, and cook, flipping part way through. Cook approximately 3-4 minutes per side. Cooking time depends on thickness and size of the chicken. Cook until internal temp is 165 degrees.

Remove from pan, and let cool.

Once cool, cut into bite sized pieces. Just make sure you let it cool, or all the juice will run out.

Meanwhile, make cucumber salad by chunking the cucumbers, and tossing in a bowl with the lemon juice, olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, and oregano. Set aside

Make tzatziki sauce by combining the Greek yogurt, cucumber, garlic, dill weed, lemon juice, lemon zest  in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper. And add mint (optional)

Refrigerate while assembling your bowls.

Cook brown rice according to package directions. When finished cooking, divide between meal prep containers, 1/2 cup in each container, halve cherry tomatoes, and mix with red onion slices. Divide amongst the bowls.

Top with chicken, cucumber salad, and some tzatziki sauce.

Keep for 3- 5 days in airtight container, serve cold!

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Toss together chickpeas, olive oil, salt and pepper, and dried Italian seasoning. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet and cook in preheated oven for 15 minutes.&nbsp;

Prepare the dressing (if you can do this in advance, the dressing is even tastier after chilling for several hours, but still delicious when made fresh) combining all dressing ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. Cover and chill until ready to use.&nbsp;

To prepare the chicken, stir together oil, oregano, basil, salt and pepper, and garlic powder. Brush on both sides of chicken. Grill over medium heat 5-8 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Allow to rest for a couple of minutes before dicing.&nbsp;

Stir together all cucumber salad ingredients in a bowl. In a second bowl stir together tomato salad ingredients.&nbsp;

Arrange bowls by placing quinoa on the bottom and topping with chicken, cucumber salad, tomato salad, roasted chickpeas, crumbled feta cheese, and drizzle with dressing. Serve immediately.&nbsp;
