Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
4 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
Tzatziki sauce for serving
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a bowl, toss the chicken breasts with olive oil, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Place the seasoned chicken on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes, then dice or shred it.
Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked quinoa or brown rice among four meal prep containers.
Top each container with chopped romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, Kalamata olives, crumbled feta cheese, and sliced red onion.
Add the diced or shredded chicken to each bowl.
Serve with tzatziki sauce on the side. Store assembled bowls in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Notes
For a vegetarian option, substitute grilled halloumi cheese or chickpeas for the chicken.
Add your favorite vegetables like bell peppers or spinach.
Prepare the tzatziki sauce ahead of time or use a store-bought version.
