Why I Love This Recipe

I first had a Greek bowl like this at this local Mediterranean café "Natalies", and I instantly fell in love with the flavors. So much so in fact, that I've been a regular customer of the cafe for years and years now.

Recently, my mother-in-law made a homemade version of the bowls, and I was blown away by how good her recipe was for them. So, I of course, begged her to give me the recipe, and thankfully, she was kind enough to give it to me. 

I'm not going to lie; it's quickly become a staple at my house. The combination of warm, spiced chicken with cool, tangy tzatziki and fresh veggies is just something my wife and I never get tired of. I hope you end up feeling the same way.

My Expert Tips

  • Use Fresh Ingredients for Tzatziki: Fresh dill and cucumber give the sauce the best flavor—don’t skip them!
  • Swap the Rice: Use quinoa, cauliflower rice, or even couscous for a different base.
  • Add More Crunch: Sprinkle in some chopped cucumbers or crumbled feta for extra texture.
  • Make It Low-Carb: Skip the rice and serve the chicken and toppings over lettuce for a Greek salad bowl.
  • Meal Prep Friendly: Store the ingredients separately and assemble the bowls fresh for the best texture.
