Greek Chicken Bowl

I've shared Greek chicken bowls before but they called for marinated and grilled chicken. I wanted a simpler weeknight and winter friendly version that was just as delicious, so created this stovetop variation.

They are still brimming with flavor, abundant in fresh goodness, and it's all about those sauces (they include both tzatziki and hummus and it makes all the difference).

It's a one bowl meal you can feel great about serving as it includes a whole grain, a complete protein, healthy fats (olive oil and avocado), and a tons of vegetables. And of course we throw some cheese in there because feta adds so much flavor.

Also try the other variations I've shared below (you can swap out things like quinoa for rice, avocado for olives, and parsley for mint). It's a versatile Greek bowl that's sure to satisfy without leaving you feeling weighed down.

I guess between all the desserts I make I need to eat healthy sometimes. Usually, I do always eat a healthy breakfast and lunch, and a mostly healthy dinner so it sort of makes up for the fact that I have some kind of dessert or chocolate every day after dinner. I mean, sure I ate a sugar-packed cheesecake mousse after dinner, but I had this for lunch so that dessert is totally justified in my book. I actually do love veggies, I just feel good when I eat them. So it only makes sense to pack as many veggies as humanly possible into a sandwich slathered with a generous amount of freshly made hummus (because hummus is always good with veggies!). And it only gets better when you use multi-grain + seed slices of bread.

Veggie and Hummus Sandwich

You may look at this and think it seriously needs some kind of meat, like deli turkey or bacon but really with all the hummus it has enough flavor without it (it wouldn't hurt to add them though if you can't resist). Plus, with how many veggies are packed in this it makes for a perfectly filling lunch (or dinner). I tried this veggie sandwich with and without cheese and liked it both ways. If you'd like to add some it's good with sliced havarti or provolone cheese. Now I can't wait for lunch again today since I still have plenty of veggies left to make more sandwiches! Who knew veggies could be exciting?
