Greek Chicken Salad Bowl

1. Marinate the Chicken

In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and coat well. Marinate for at least 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor).

2. Cook the Chicken

Grill or pan-sear chicken over medium-high heat for 5–7 minutes per side, until fully cooked (internal temp 165°F / 74°C). Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

3. Prepare the Dressing

In a small jar, whisk olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon, garlic, honey, oregano, salt, and pepper until emulsified.

4. Assemble the Bowls

In each bowl, layer greens (and grains if using). Top with tomatoes, cucumber, onion, olives, feta, and sliced chicken.

5. Dress & Serve

Drizzle with dressing just before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or dill if desired.

Tips for Success

  • Meal prep: Cook chicken and grains ahead of time. Assemble bowls when ready to eat.
  • Make it lighter: Skip the grains for a low-carb version.
  • Add crunch: Toss in roasted chickpeas or pita chips.
  • Dairy-free option: Swap feta for dairy-free cheese or avocado slices.

Fun Variations

  • Greek Chicken Gyro Bowl – Add pita bread and tzatziki on the side.
  • Mediterranean Power Bowl – Add hummus and roasted veggies.
  • Spicy Kick – Sprinkle red pepper flakes or add a drizzle of hot sauce.
  • Seafood Twist – Swap chicken for grilled shrimp or salmon.

What to Serve With It

This bowl is satisfying on its own but pairs beautifully with:

  • Warm pita bread with tzatziki
  • Lemon orzo soup
  • A chilled glass of iced tea or crisp white wine
