Greek Chicken Bowls – Lunch Meal Prep

An easy lunch meal prep idea, these Greek Chicken Bowls are a delicious, on the go, mediterranean diet lunch recipe for any day of the week.

Weekday Lunch Prep

When I was working, I never had to make a lunch because I worked in food service, so lunch was provided for us.

I never understood how wonderful that benefit was until I had to make lunch for myself everyday.

They always say you never know what you had until it’s gone. So true.

Greek Chicken Bowls

These Greek Chicken Bowls are an easy, flavor packed recipe that make weekday lunch a breeze.

You could easily make them in about 15 minutes or you could spend a little time meal prepping and have them all ready for lunch on the go.

My tip if you are going to pre-pack them for lunch on the go – don’t add the dressing or nuts/seeds until the last minute. That will help keep everything from getting a little soggy.
