How do you spell FLAVOR? Greek Chicken Thigh Bowls! You have juicy chicken thighs marinated in all kinds of tastiness, pillowy white rice, creamy tzatziki sauce, and that’s not all, y’all.
We LOVE adding the cucumber tomato salad because it’s fresh and zesty. And we can’t call it a party without little salty nuggets of feta sprinkled on top.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe…
- So hear me out, our Greek Chicken Thigh Bowl is overflowing with loads of flavor. And it’s not just from the chicken. Mmmm! Crisp cucumber salad, hummus, and tzatziki sauce make it a flavor heavyweight.
- With a little planning, you’ll be surprised by how fast this meal comes together. Now here’s how you really get ahead: make your chicken and cucumber salad the night before. Then all you have to do is warm the chicken and assemble the bowls.
- It’s literally perfect for meal planning. So, picture this, you’ve made a BIG ole batch of Greek chicken thighs and tossed them in the freezer (they reheat beautifully by the way). When it’s meal prep time, you’re ready steady. Just thaw a serving and assemble your bowl.
- It’s so healthy but soo tasty! How does that even make sense? You have protein, plus lots of veggies, and flavor by truckload. With this recipe, you can’t say healthy and tasty can’t go in the same sentence.

Follow the instructions from cooking the Greek Chicken Thigh recipe.
Scoop 1 cup of rice into each bowl. Slice the chicken thighs and place on top of the rice.
Spoon some cucumber salad, hummus, tzatziki sauce on top. Add the halved olives and garnish with feta cheese and fresh parsley. Enjoy!
Storage
If you want to store leftovers, first separate the chicken and rice from the fresh toppings, and place them in different containers. They’ll keep for up to 3 days.
FAQ
Sure. But remember that chicken breasts are super lean. So I would use a food thermometer and cook them to 165 degrees. This will ensure they are both moist and safe to eat.
Easy! The quickest way to do it is in the microwave, in 20 or 30 second intervals, until heated through. But, make sure you remove the fresh toppings first. Who wants warm cucumber tomato salad? Yuck!
We do it all the time. You can cook the chicken up to 3 days in advance if you plan on keeping it the fridge. Or, like us, you can double or triple the recipe and store it in freezer bags for up to 3 months. This saves us SO MUCH TIME!
