Greek Chicken Bowls
It is satisfying to a good meal prep, especially when it’s super flavorful, packed with protein, and straightforward to make. It’s hard to beat that!
These Greek Chicken Bowls are all that and more. The chicken is melt-in-your-mouth tender, with the reliable seasoning blend. The sauce is my absolute favorite (you might recognize it from these beef Greek Meatballs or Greek Turkey Meatballs), and the fresh veggies add some nice crunch!
Wrap it all up in some warmed pita, and I’m not sure there’s anything better!
Ingredients

- Seasonings: Create a classic Greek-inspired flavor.
- Cornstarch: Coats the chicken for a golden, crisp exterior.
- Honey: Adds a touch of sweetness that balances the savory spices.

Pro Tips for reliable Greek Chicken Bowls
- Marinate 30 minutes (overnight is even better) for deeper flavor.
- Broil on a wire rack so heat hits all sides and the chicken browns, not steams.
- Temp check: pull chicken at 165 °F; carryover heat keeps it juicy.
- Char the pita: 30 seconds per side in a dry skillet wakes up the flavor fast.
- Season the grain: Try making my Greek rice for extra flavor.
