  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil
  • 2 tsp dried oregano (or 2 TBSP fresh chopped oregano)
  • 1/4 cup (15g) fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups (300g) tomatoes (cherry or Roma), halved or quartered
  • 1 English cucumber, cubed
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup (150g) feta cheese, cubed or crumbled

Instructions

  1. 1

    To a large container or a large resealable bag, add all the ingredients (except chicken) for the souvlaki. Mix them well. Add the chicken, and ensure you massage it to combine with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 475°F (240°C). Line a baking half sheet with aluminum foil and grease it with oil.

  3. 3

    Add the potatoes to the bag with chicken. Add some more salt and olive oil, and mix everything well. Transfer the chicken and potatoes to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is cooked through—about 36 minutes. Remove the chicken, chop it into small bites, and set aside covered. Continue cooking the potatoes for another 15 minutes or so until they are cooked through, tender, and crusty.

  4. 4

    Combine all of the dressing ingredients together.

  5. 5

    In a large bowl, combine the cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, feta, olives, chicken, and potatoes, and top with the dressing. Mix well.

  6. 6

    Grab bowls, add some greens, and top with the chicken, potato, and vegetable mixture. Drizzle with tzatziki and serve.

FAQ

Can I make Greek Bowl ahead of time?+
Yes! You can marinate the chicken for up to 24 hours in the fridge, which actually makes it more flavorful. After cooking, store the cooled bowl in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
What can I substitute for chicken thighs in this recipe?+
You can use chicken breasts, though they'll cook faster and may be drier—reduce cooking time by about 5 minutes. Pork tenderloin, lamb, or even firm tofu work great with this Greek marinade too.
Why is my Greek Bowl chicken tough?+
Chicken thighs are forgiving, but overcooking will dry them out—aim for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Also make sure you're using bone-in thighs if possible, as boneless thighs can dry out faster in the high oven heat.
What should I serve with Greek Bowl?+
Serve it with Greek yogurt tzatziki, a crisp green salad, warm pita bread, or crumbled feta cheese. A simple tomato and cucumber salad on the side makes it feel like an authentic Greek meal.
