30 Minute Prep Shredded Chicken Greek Tzatziki Bowl (Gluten Free)

One of my absolute favorite types of food is Greek food so it makes sense I have a simple meal prep Tzatziki Bowl! This greek chicken bowl is packed with protein, veggies, and dairy-free feta goodeness!

Often times, you see tzatziki bowl recipes with chopped chicken, but I’ve found that shredded chicken is a lot less prep time and can soak up the seasoning flavors much easier.

This flavor packed greek chicken bowl will be so tasty, you’ll forget that Greek food is one of the healthiest types of food you can eat!

What Ingredients To Make This Tzatziki Bowl?

For the chicken:

• Shredded chicken – Acts as the juicy, tender base that soaks up all the herbs for flavor in every bite.
• Garlic, Oregano, Thyme, Basil – Brings a warm, earthy essence that perfectly complements the lemon and chicken.
• Minced onion – Gives a gentle sweetness and savory background flavor that rounds out the dish.
• Minced garlic – Boosts the garlic flavor even more, adding richness and aroma that meld beautifully with the herbs.
• Salt and pepper – Essential for elevating and balancing all the other flavors, making everything pop just right.

For The Rice (We are using my fluffy and flavorful greek rice recipe):

• 1 cup Rice
• 2 tbsp Vegan Butter
• 2 cups Chicken stock
• ½ Lemon I squeeze half a lemon into the rice.
• ½ tbsp Olive oil
• Seasonings to top after cooking: Oregano, Thyme, Salt, and Pepper

Toppings

• Kale
• Feta cheese (dairy free)
• Tzatziki dip
• Cucumber, tomato, & olive mix
• Red onions

How I Packed This

I packed this pretty efficiently if I do say so myself.

I put the hot things that I will microwave in the microwaveable container: chicken, rice, and kale.

The cold things to go on top of my Greek chicken bowl were put in a little plastic baggy so my: tomato and cucumber mix, feta cheese, and olives. I put them on after microwaving.

I also packed some tzatziki dip to throw on top of it all. Dreamy Greek paradise in every freaking bite! 🤤
