This healthy dinner eating train isn’t so bad, is it guys? I rest my case with these Greek chicken quinoa bowls.

Also winning major points…MEAL PREP. Pretty sure the dinner game just got saved for awhile. High fives all around to all the other lazy dinner makers, myself included.

The thing is though that these bowls don’t even TASTE like lazy food. Like slave-over-a-stove-for-48-hours kinda food. I’m not hating it. ??

I’m also contemplating putting these meal prep bowls on the menu permanently.

First off…let’s talk Greek chicken quinoa bowl components!

  1. Chicken. Oh my gosh, the chicken for these bowls is hands-down one of the best things I’ve had in awhile. Chicken breasts take a nice long soak in a Greek-style marinade and trust me, it is INSANELY good.
  2. Quinoa. Nothin’ fancy here, guys, just cook up a mess of quinoa and call your job done.
  3. Last but not least, pile ALL that Greek goodness up as high as you can. Cucumbers, tomatoes, avocado, feta, red onion, etc. The more the merrier!

Divide it all up between your meal prep bowls and dinner is SET for the foreseeable future,guys.

Get ready to be dinner obsessed is the gist of it.

    If you can please give us the nutrition value of this meal? I tried to figure it on My Fitness Pal but kept getting different numbers.

    I absolutely loved this Greek chicken recipe! I have made it twice and I only made one adjustment. I doubled the recipe both times, and the first time i found the lemon juice a bit too strong.
