Greek Chicken Bowls
These Greek Chicken Bowls are healthy, delicious and easy to make! Topped with my Greek Yogurt Tzatziki recipe, it’s a light and refreshing power bowl with fresh veggies, chicken and orzo.
This recipe was made with all you meal preppers in mind! It serves 4-5 people, or “one bowl now, 4 delicious meals later.” Or somewhere in between! Enjoy!
Greek Chicken Bowls
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 Cucumbers chopped
- 1 pint Cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 Red onion thinly sliced
- 4 cups Orzo cooked
Instructions
-
In a skillet, heat about a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
-
Add chicken to the pan when it is hot, and cook on each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until the chicken gets up to 165 degrees.
-
Set the chicken aside to cool. Add salt & pepper to taste (optional). Once it is cool enough to handle, cut into bite size pieces.
-
While you wait for your chicken to cool down, chop & slice your veggies.
-
Cook orzo according to package instructions. Here's what I did: In a large sauce pan, boil 3 quarts of water. Add 1 1/2 cups orzo. Boil until al dente, around 8 minutes. Drain.
-
Make Greek Yogurt Tzatziki (recipe follows). Great to do while cooking your orzo!
-
Once all elements of your Greek Chicken Bowl are prepared, divide each element until 4-5 servings and serve or place into meal prep containers. Keep for 3-5 days in fridge or enjoy right away!
