Greek Quinoa Bowl (Easy Meal Prep!)

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.

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
