These incredible Mediterranean chicken bowls are loaded with tender pieces of marinated Greek chicken, fluffy rice, fresh vegetables, tzatziki and hummus, plus crumbled feta cheese and tangy Kalamata olives. They’re a delicious all-in-one meal that’s easy to make and great to customize with your favorite add-ins!
We love a good chicken bowl… Anytime I’m running errands in town, and need to stop for lunch, I always end up at some sort of build-your-own-bowl restaurant. There’s something so satisfying about placing all sorts of fresh ingredients in one big bowl, making it beautiful, then tearing it up as you devour it. De-lightful!
Why You’ll Love These Chicken and Rice Bowls
Fresh and delicious – Chicken and rice bowls are filled with bright Mediterranean flavors, crisp veggies, and creamy tzatziki and hummus. They’re everything you crave in one, well, bowl!
Prep ahead – Marinate and grill the chicken, make the rice, and prep the produce a day or so ahead of time, and assemble whenever you’re ready to enjoy!
Super flexible – There are so many great ways to customize this recipe! You can make your own tzatziki sauce and hummus, or use store-bought ingredients for quicker preparation. Then swap out grains, veggies, and add on whatever extra toppings you like to make each chicken bowl your own.
The concept is like what you find at fast casual restaurants, which offer great bowl combinations… But, like most great dishes, we find homemade versions to be SO much better!
