Greek Chicken Bowl with Ranch Tzatziki

by Anna Chwistek
Anna Chwistek

Greek chicken bowl with ranch tzatziki. Imagine juicy oregano chicken with tender bell pepper served bowl-style with rice for a delicious next-level weeknight dinner. Finished with crumbled feta and an ultra creamy tzatziki ranch dressing. It’s simple, mouthwatering and ready in 25 minutes. Serve with warm pita bread and a crunchy salad.

An out-of-this-world delicious bowl that will make you look forward to eat it on repeat. Delicious Greek flavors, we all love, paired with a really good sauce. We start with lemony, herby Greek-style chicken and a scoop of rice finished off with a generous drizzle of tangy ranch tzatziki. No Greek-style bowl is complete without feta, so we top the chicken with crumbles of this salty cheese. The feta begins to soften and warm when stirred into the just-cooked chicken.

The ranch tzatziki blends two great tastes into one flavorful dressing. It’s garlic-kissed, tangy, and flecked with dill and chives. This creamy dressing comes together in a blitz and really brings this hearty Greek chicken bowl together.

Serve with warm pita bread and a vibrant, crunchy salad made with crisp cucumbers, juicy tomatoes and sharp red onion for a satisfying bowl.
Let me guide you through the recipe with this step-by-step VIDEO.

RECIPE NOTES

  • everything in these bowls (the chicken, the rice, the vegetables and the sauce) can be cooked in advance during your meal prep. Assemble and store the bowls in lidded containers, but keep the dressing stored separately
  • add zucchini, eggplant or sweet potato, and cook it together with the bell pepper
  • make a crunchy greek-style cucumber salad. Combine cucumber with cherry tomatoes, red onion, olive oil and lemon juice. Add dill and oregano, season with salt and black pepper
  • top with black olives or crispy chickpeas
  • make more ranch tzatziki dressing, and use it to drizzle over a salad or serve with some grilled steak. It can be stored for up to 4 days
  • instead of rice, use pearl couscous, quinoa or orzo
