Mediterranean Flavors Made Simple

Cooking Greek food doesn’t have to mean standing over the stove. This slow cooker version lets the lemon, oregano, and garlic do the heavy lifting while the chicken becomes juicy and tender over hours. When it’s done, every bite tastes like sunshine — vibrant, herby, and full of clean Mediterranean goodness. It’s healthy comfort food you’ll actually look forward to eating.

Meal Prep & Storage

These Greek chicken bowls are meal prep perfection! Store cooked chicken separately from fresh toppings. It lasts up to 4 days in the fridge, or 2 months in the freezer. To reheat, warm the chicken and rice together, then add cool toppings like cucumbers and feta right before serving.

How to Serve

Serve these bowls warm or chilled. They’re great as:

• A light weeknight dinner
• A prepped lunch for work
• A make-your-own bowl dinner for guests

Pair with warm pita, hummus, or a side of roasted veggies to round out the meal.
