What is a Greek chicken power bowl?

A nutrient-dense meal featuring Mediterranean-seasoned chicken, fresh vegetables (cucumber, tomato, onion), a grain base (quinoa or rice), and a creamy Tzatziki sauce. It balances protein, fats, and carbs.

How many calories are in a Greek chicken bowl roughly?

Typically between 400–450 calories per serving, depending on the amount of olive oil and feta cheese used. Our version maximizes volume with veggies to keep calories lower.

Can you make a Greek chicken bowl with tzatziki and still keep it healthy?

Yes, by using non-fat Greek yogurt as the base for the Tzatziki to keep it high in protein and low in fat. Store-bought versions often use mayonnaise or sour cream, which spikes the calories.

What toppings add more protein to a Greek bowl?

Extra chicken, chickpeas, hemp seeds, and a high-protein feta sauce are excellent additions. You can also mix unflavored protein powder into the Tzatziki (though it may alter texture slightly).

Is a Greek chicken bowl healthy?

Yes, it is rich in lean protein, healthy fats from olives/olive oil, and micronutrients from fresh vegetables. It supports heart health and sustained energy levels.

How do you make a high protein Greek bowl?

Focus on double-portioning the chicken and using a Greek-yogurt-based sauce. Reducing the rice portion and increasing the chicken and chickpea ratio instantly boosts the protein profile.

Instructions

Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, toss chicken cubes with olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper. Let sit for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours).
Cook Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken (discard excess marinade). Cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through (165°F).
Make Tzatziki: While chicken cooks, whisk together Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, dill, and garlic in a small bowl. Season with salt to taste.
Prep Veggies: Chop cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions. Rinse chickpeas.
Assemble: Divide the cooked quinoa (or rice) into 4 bowls.
Layer: Top the grains with sections of cooked chicken, cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, onions, and chickpeas.
Serve: Add a generous dollop of Tzatziki sauce in the center and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese. Squeeze fresh lemon over the top before eating.

Notes

Meal Prep: Store the chicken and grains in one container, and the fresh veggies/sauce in a separate container to keep everything crisp.
Low Carb: Swap quinoa for cauliflower rice or a bed of mixed greens.
Roasting Chickpeas: For extra crunch, toss chickpeas in olive oil and paprika and air fry at 400°F for 10 minutes.
