Greek chicken rice bowls with seasoned chicken, fresh veggies, and tzatziki sauce. A quick, gluten-free dinner that's great for meal prep!
In the Summer, I'm always looking for quick dinners because I don't like to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. And using random kitchen appliances speeds up the process!
I'm not a fancy cook by any means, but like to branch out a little. And these Greek Chicken Bowls are just different enough for my family to make it on a regular rotation!
This is an easy rice bowl that uses a rice cooker for the hard part. Add to that seasoned grilled chicken, diced cucumber, juicy grape tomatoes, and a dill tzatziki to round it all out! Check out how to make this easy Greek-inspired dinner.

How to Eat as Leftovers
Honestly, I don't reheat this recipe; I eat it cold the next day. Part of that is because I add the cucumbers and tomatoes to the container before I refrigerate it; and I don't want those heated up.
But if you want to heat up the rice and chicken, that's fine. Just separate them from the veggies first!
What to Serve With This
This is meant to be a complete meal, with your protein, carb, and vegetable! But keeping with the Greek-inspired theme, you can serve this with naan and hummus.
