About This Recipe

If you’re looking for a low-carb lunch that is both satisfying and full of Mediterranean flavor, these keto Greek chicken bowls are about to become a weekly staple. Packed with protein from juicy grilled chicken, healthy fats from olive oil and feta, and fiber from crisp cucumbers and leafy greens, this dish checks all the boxes for a balanced keto-friendly meal.

One of the best things about this recipe is its versatility. You can prepare the chicken ahead of time and assemble your bowls in just minutes, making it ideal for meal prep. The marinade combines olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs—classic Greek flavors that transform ordinary chicken into something extraordinary. Pair it with fresh vegetables like cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onions, and you’ve got a base that’s light but satisfying.

The star of the bowl, however, might just be the tzatziki sauce. Made with Greek yogurt, cucumber, garlic, and dill, it adds a creamy tang that ties all the ingredients together. It’s also keto-friendly thanks to its high-fat, low-carb profile. If you’re dairy-free, you can easily swap in coconut yogurt for a similar texture and flavor.

Nutritionally, these bowls are a powerhouse. Each serving is rich in protein and healthy fats while keeping the carbs low. Plus, it’s naturally gluten-free and grain-free, making it accessible to almost any diet. This recipe works great as a weekday lunch, post-workout meal, or even as a light dinner when you want something fresh and flavorful without spending hours in the kitchen.

For variety, you can switch up the toppings by adding olives, roasted red peppers, or even cauliflower rice if you want a heartier base. Whether you’re following a strict keto diet or just trying to eat more whole, nutritious foods, these Greek chicken bowls deliver big flavor without the carbs.

FAQ

Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?
Yes! Chicken thighs will add more flavor and extra fat, which makes them even more keto-friendly.

Can I make this dairy-free?
Absolutely—use coconut yogurt in place of Greek yogurt and skip the feta, or use a dairy-free alternative.

How long does the chicken keep after cooking?
Stored in the fridge, cooked chicken lasts 3–4 days, making it perfect for meal prep bowls.

Can I serve this with a base instead of greens?
Yes—cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles work great if you want something more filling.

Variations & Substitutions

Swap feta for goat cheese or omit for dairy-free.
Add roasted red peppers, artichokes, or grilled zucchini for variety.
Use tahini sauce instead of tzatziki for a nutty twist.
