Grilled Greek Chicken Bowl Ingredients
To make this grilled chicken recipe you’ll first marinate a few chicken breasts. The ingredients you’ll need include extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, garlic, oregano, dill and some salt and pepper. For the greek vegetable side of the bowls, you’ll need either grape or cherry tomatoes, green pepper, cucumber and either black or kalamata olives. What’s so great about this recipe is how easy it is, and that it uses mostly pantry staple ingredients aside from the veggies and chicken!
How to Prep the Greek Chicken
You’ll first start by combing all of the marinade ingredients into a small dish, whisking them together well to incorporate everything together. In an air-tight container place the chicken breasts in and pour the marinade over and flip the chicken to coat. I love using my glass Ello 8×8 container for marinading meat, especially for the grill, because it’s the perfect size for any protein, has a low profile so it’s easier to store in the fridge than a bowl, and it can transport right to the grill once it’s done marinading.
Once the chicken is coated in your Greek-inspired marinade, you’ll over it with the lid and place it into the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. You can marinate it longer, of course, up to overnight.
Grilling & Prepping the Chicken Bowls
Once the chicken has been marinaded, heat your grill to about 450 degrees F. Once hot, place your chicken directly onto the grill grates and close the lid. You’ll only need to cook the chicken about 6 minutes per side, give or take a minute or two depending on how thick your chicken breasts are.
You’ll know the chicken breasts are ready to flip once they slide off the grill grates easily. You shouldn’t have to pull or tug on them with tongs to get them to flip, and the chicken shouldn’t stick to the grates. If it is sticking, let it grill an additional minute before trying to flip again.
To prep the vegetables, simply dice all of your vegetables and add them to a mixing bowl. Add in the oil, lemon, garlic powder and salt and give it a stir to toss. Then you can add a base to the bowls or just add in the grilled chicken and veggies. Add a slice of fresh lemon if you’re using for meal prep and squeeze right before you’re going to eat. It adds a bright and fresh flavor to the chicken and vegetables!
For meal prepping the bowls, I use my Ello 10-piece Meal Prep Set. They’re the perfect size for lunches, BPA free and dishwasher, microwave, freezer & oven safe! The silicone sleeves protect the glass from any scratches or cracks which make the containers easy to move and store for meal prep purposes!

You can use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts, any type of olive or none at all, you can add red or green onion. You could also add rice to the base of the bowl, and a bit of crumbled feta on top if you’d like!
