Greek Chicken Bowls

These healthy Greek Chicken Bowls are insanely flavorful and simple to make! Perfect for meal prepping!

Since starting the New Year, my hubby and I have been trying to eat a bit better throughout the day. We both had found ourselves snacking, eating a junky type lunch, and generally feeling tired and run down come the evenings.

To help us make better choices at lunch, we decided to meal prep our weekly lunches on Sunday afternoons. So far, it has worked out great and allowed us to “grab and go” our lunches, try new varieties of meat combos, etc. We both have been feeling better since cutting out the junk, have more energy, and lunches are much easier than trying to pack them each night.

This recipe prepares 4 “bowls”, so you can change things up one day during the week so it isn’t too repetitive!! We also have a Fiesta Mason Jar Salad recipe you may want to try too!
