Greek Chicken Protein Bowls
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 cup store bought Italian salad dressing (I used Olive Garden Italian vinaigrette)
1 cup brown rice, cooked according to package directions but replace water with bone broth or chicken stock (yields approx 2 cups cooked rice)
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup marinated artichoke hearts, roughly chopped
2 cups diced (or roughly chopped) cucumber
1/2 cup chopped dill
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
2 cups baby spinach leaves (or shredded romaine lettuce)
1 cup quick pickled red onion
4 oz crumbled feta
store bought tzatziki
black olives (optional)
Directions:
Marinate the chicken breast in the Italian dressing for 30 minutes or better yet, a few hours or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 375F. Cut the chicken into 1” cubes and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake for 20 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 165F.
Meanwhile, prepare the rice according to package directions. When finished cooking, fluff with a fork and set aside.
To make the cucumber salad, combine the 2 cups chopped cucumbers, 1/2 cup chopped dill, lemon juice and S&P in a bowl. Toss to combine and refrigerate until ready to serve.
To assemble the bowls, add 3/4 cup brown rice to a bowl, and top with the cooked chicken pieces and your desired toppings. Add the salad and a generous drizzle of tzatziki.
Enjoy!
