How to Make Greek Healthy Meal Prep Bowls
1. Prepare the Chicken
Preheat oven to 200°C.
Mix all herbs, spices, and salt in a small bowl. Brush chicken breasts with olive oil and coat evenly with seasoning mixture.
Bake for 25–28 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 71°C. Do not overcook.
Let cool completely before slicing into 1–1.5 cm slices against the grain.
2. Make the Tzatziki
Place grated cucumber in a clean towel or paper towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Let drain while preparing the remaining ingredients.
In a bowl, combine yogurt, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and dill. Stir in the drained cucumber.
Adjust salt to taste and refrigerate until ready to use.
3. Prepare the Cauliflower Tabbouleh
In a large bowl, combine cauliflower rice, cucumber, tomatoes, parsley, mint (if using), scallions, and garlic.
Add olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Toss well and adjust seasoning.
4. Assemble the Bowls
