This Greek Chicken Bowl is a flavorful, low-carb meal perfect for keto lifestyles. Juicy, herb-marinated chicken sits atop a bed of fresh vegetables like cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and leafy greens. A creamy, tangy tzatziki sauce made with full-fat Greek yogurt adds richness without excess carbs.

It’s a balanced bowl of protein, healthy fats, and fiber, keeping you full and satisfied while staying keto-friendly. The Mediterranean herbs—oregano, dill, and garlic—make the dish aromatic and savory, while optional feta cheese adds an extra layer of indulgence.

This bowl is great for meal prep because the components can be prepared ahead of time. It’s versatile: serve it warm, or enjoy it chilled for a refreshing keto lunch.

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

  • 1 tsp dried oregano

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Veggies & Base

  • 4 cups mixed leafy greens (spinach, romaine, or kale)

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 1 cucumber, diced

  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced

  • 1/4 cup kalamata olives, sliced

Tzatziki Sauce

  • 1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt

  • 1/2 cucumber, finely grated and drained

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken:
    In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and coat evenly. Marinate at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

  2. Cook the chicken:
    Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken 5–7 minutes per side (depending on thickness) until fully cooked. Let rest 5 minutes, then slice.

  3. Prepare the tzatziki sauce:
    In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper. Chill until ready to serve.

  4. Assemble the bowls:
    Divide leafy greens among 4 bowls. Top with cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, red onion, kalamata olives, and sliced chicken. Drizzle with tzatziki and sprinkle feta cheese if desired.

  5. Serve:
    Garnish with extra dill or lemon wedges. Serve immediately.
