The Greek Chicken Bowl is a delightful dish that combines the robust flavors of Greek cuisine with the ease of a salad bowl. This recipe features marinated grilled chicken breasts, served over a vibrant salad of baby spinach, English cucumber, Roma tomatoes, feta cheese, artichoke hearts, and Kalamata olives, with an optional addition of pepperoni for added kick and extra protein.
The salad is dressed in a Greek vinaigrette, enhanced by the unique taste of Greek Freak seasoning. This bowl is perfect for a nutritious lunch or a light dinner, offering a balance of protein, greens, and Mediterranean flavors.
Keto Grilled Greek Chicken Bowl
This dish is a fantastic way to enjoy the freshness and flavor of Greek cuisine in a simple, easy-to-make bowl. The key component, marinated chicken breast, provides a juicy and flavorful protein base. The marinade, a Greek vinaigrette, infuses the chicken with a tangy and herby taste that is something we go back to all the time.
You can pick up your favorite bottle of Greek Salad dressing, or whip up your own Homemade Greek Salad Dressing featuring our favorite all-purpose Greek rub, Greek Freak. You’ll want to keep that rub in the house, we use it in SO many recipes! You could also use my Creamy Greek Dressing for this dish.
The salad component of the Greek Chicken Bowl is a colorful mix of vegetables and cheese, with a variety of textures and flavors to keep you interested. Baby spinach serves as a tender and nutritious base, while the diced English cucumber and Roma tomatoes add crunch and freshness. The crumbled feta cheese brings a creamy and salty element that pairs wonderfully with the acidity of the Greek vinaigrette. Marinated artichoke hearts provide a tangy contrast, and Kalamata olives add a burst of briny flavor. For those who enjoy a bit of extra spice, the addition of small pepperoni is an excellent choice. It also bumps up the protein in this dish significantly too!
One of the great aspects of this recipe how flexible it is. You can easily customize the salad ingredients based on personal preference or what you have on hand. The optional Greek Freak seasoning blend is a fantastic addition for those who enjoy bold flavors, but the salad is just as awesome without it. Just toss in a little extra bottled Greek dressing. You can also adapt this dish to accommodate dietary restrictions or preferences, such as omitting the cheese for a dairy-free version.
