Ingredients
  

High Protein Greek Chicken Bowls Ingredients
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts (450g) pounded to even thickness
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (15ml)
  • 0.5 whole lemon juiced and zested
  • 4 cups crisp romaine lettuce (190g) chopped
  • 2 cups fresh chopped green salad (60g) mixed greens
  • 1 cup fresh green tomatoes (150g) diced
  • 1 cup English cucumber (130g) chopped
  • 0.5 cup white feta cheese (75g) crumbled
  • 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt (120g) full-fat
  • 1 tbsp water (15ml)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil (45ml)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (15ml)
  • 0.5 tsp Dijon mustard (2g)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley (10g) chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 Cast Iron Grill Pan Essential for achieving deep char marks on the chicken.
  • 4 Wide Shallow Ceramic Bowls Used for the final plating and assembly.

Method
 

Preparing and Grilling the Chicken
  1. In a bowl, combine the chicken breasts with olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Let it rest for 15 minutes at room temperature.
  2. Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until deep char marks form and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let rest for 5 minutes before cutting into cubes.
Making the Dressings and Assembly
  1. In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, water, and garlic powder to create the creamy white sauce. In another bowl, vigorously whisk olive oil, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard until glossy and emulsified.
  2. In a wide shallow ceramic bowl, lay down a base of chopped green salad and crisp romaine lettuce. Top with the grilled cubed citrus chicken, diced fresh green tomatoes, chopped cucumber, and crumbled white feta cheese.
  3. Dollop the thick creamy white sauce on top, drizzle the glossy lemon vinaigrette over the chicken, and garnish with sprinkled fresh chopped parsley.

Notes

Tip 1: Always pat your chicken dry before marinating to guarantee excellent char marks.
Tip 2: Store the dressings and the greens separately if meal-prepping to keep the romaine lettuce crisp.
