    Greek Quinoa Bowl (Easy Meal Prep!)

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    This Greek Quinoa Bowl is the perfect lunch or dinner when you want something fresh, flavorful, and easy. What I love about this Chicken Meal prep is how it packs in protein, healthy fats, and tons of flavor..no cooking required if you have a few staples prepped!

    I’ve been making this on repeat for work-from-home lunches and easy dinners. It’s great for meal prep, endlessly customizable, and comes together in 10 minutes with cooked chicken & quinoa.

    If you like this dish, you should try my Easy Chicken Shawarma Plate with Tahini Sauce, Mango Shrimp Salsa Recipe (ready in 15 minutes!) or Easy Salsa Chicken in the Oven.

    Why You Will Love This Meal

    • Fast and easy – Just assemble and eat.
    • Fresh and flavorful – Classic Mediterranean flavors in every bite.
    • Balanced and satisfying – Protein, fiber, healthy fats, and greens in one bowl.

    Ingredients

    • Cooked shredded chicken – A lean protein that soaks up the flavors of the bowl. A rotisserie chicken makes this a super easy meal prep!
    • Cooked quinoa – Adds fiber and plant-based protein with a nutty flavor.
    • Tzatziki – Creamy, and tangy
    • Kalamata olives – Briny, bold flavor that gives it a true Greek feel.
    • Pickled onions – Adds a sweet-tart crunch and a pop of color.
    • Greens of choice – Arugula, spinach, or mixed greens add freshness and volume.
    • Feta – Creamy, salty, and perfectly tangy.
    • Red wine vinaigrette - ties all the flavors together
    • Salt and pepper – For simple, balanced seasoning.

    If you haven't made quinoa in the rice cooker- I HIGHLY recommend it. It is the easiest way to prep quinoa, I use 1 part quinoa to 2 parts water. Turn on the switch and it's done in about 25 minutes.

    Substitutions and Variations

    • Crumble in vegan feta or skip cheese to keep it dairy-free
    • Swap quinoa for farro, couscous, or brown rice
    • Use grilled chicken, rotisserie chicken, or chickpeas for a vegetarian version
    • Try hummus instead of tzatziki for a different creamy element
    • Add cucumber, cherry tomatoes, or roasted red peppers
