How to make Greek Chicken Bowl
Tips from the cook
- Toss the chicken only now and then so it browns, and lower the heat if the spices start to burn.
- Short on time? Use cooked leftover rice and store-bought tzatziki.
- Chicken breast works too; cook it only until done so it stays juicy.
- Quinoa, bulgur or roasted potatoes can replace the rice; roasted zucchini, carrot and pepper can replace the salad.

Meal prep and storage
Still good after 2 to 3 days in the fridge, cold or microwaved.
Keeps 3–4 days in the fridge; store the tzatziki, chicken, rice and vegetables separately.
