Ingredients
  

Chicken marinade and chicken
  • 1.5 chicken breast, sliced
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
Bowl base and toppings
  • 4 cup cooked rice
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 0.5 cup crumbled feta
  • 1 cup tzatziki sauce

Equipment

  • 1 cast iron skillet

Method
 

Marinate the chicken
  1. Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and dried oregano, then coat the chicken and marinate for at least 20 minutes.
  2. Keep the marinating chicken refrigerated while it rests so the flavors soak in before cooking.
Cook the chicken
  1. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and grill or pan-sear the chicken for 4 to 5 minutes per side until cooked through.
  2. Rest the cooked chicken briefly off the heat so it stays juicy, then slice if needed for easy bowl topping.
Assemble meal prep bowls
  1. Divide the cooked rice among meal prep containers as the base.
  2. Top each container with sliced chicken, diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and crumbled feta.
  3. Add a dollop of tzatziki sauce to each container just before sealing.
  4. Seal and refrigerate until ready to eat for up to 4 days.

Notes

Pro tip: Slice the chicken before storing so each container gets even topping coverage and less prep at lunch time. Refrigerate assembled bowls up to 4 days; freeze is not recommended because cucumber and tzatziki texture can soften. For a lighter option, use low-fat feta and a reduced-fat tzatziki to cut calories without changing the bowl assembly.
