Chicken souvlaki meal-prep bowls will quickly become one of your weekly go-to recipes.

The chicken marinade

The secret to irresistible souvlaki is a good marinade, and this one is packed with classic Greek flavour. Garlic, oregano, paprika, and black pepper combine with olive oil and lemon juice to create a marinade that infuses the chicken with herbaceous flavour while keeping it beautifully tender and juicy.

Chicken souvlaki

Chicken Souvlaki is traditionally made with meat on skewers. For meal prepping we cut it into cubes but skip threading it onto skewers – but the choice is yours. The meat is tender and juicy either way. Cooking the chicken in the skillet gives it delicious golden edges and that signature souvlaki flavour without needing a barbecue or outdoor grill.

Ladolemono dressing

No Greek-inspired bowl is complete without a bright, zesty dressing. Ladolemono is a simple combination of olive oil and lemon juice that adds freshness and balance to every bite. Light, tangy, and deeply Mediterranean, this dressing comes together in minutes but brings the whole bowl to life.

Tzatziki sauce

Cool, creamy tzatziki is the finishing touch that ties everything together. Made with homemade yogurt, cucumber, garlic, and herbs, it adds freshness, richness, and plenty of flavour to these satisfying meal-prep bowls. Click over to the recipe here.

Ingredients

Chicken souvlaki

3 chicken breasts cut into kabab-size piece
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic minced
1 heaped tablespoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon paprika flakes
¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt

Bowl (quantities are a guide only)

2 cups cooked brown or white rice or quinoa
2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
2 cups chopped cucumber
3-4 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
½cup sliced red onion
Tzatziki
Feta crumbled (optional)
Kalamata olives, pitted (optional)

Ladolemono Dressing

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper

Directions

Marinate Chicken

In a large bowl, combine the chopped chicken breast with all the marinade ingredients. Ensure the chicken is well coated - seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, ideally letting it marinate for a few hours for enhanced flavour. (Pro Tip: To help the chicken absorb the marinade much quicker, marinate in a Luvele glass vacuum container and employ the hand pump to seal.)
Optional: Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers.

Grain

Cook your choice of grain according to packet instructions. Serve hot or leave to cool.

Prepare salad vegetables

Lay the prepared salad ingredients on a platter or store in individual containers for easy assembly later.

Dressing

Whisk the lemon and oil in a small dish. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Cook the Chicken

Preheat your grill or cast-iron pan to high temperature. Lightly oil the surface and cook on medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown. Remove from grill and let rest. Serve hot or leave to cool.

Assemble Bowls

Add a generous scoop of grain as the base. Lay grilled chicken on top, followed by the prepared salad ingredients, including extras.

Add Tzatziki and Dressing

Drizzle ladolemono dressing over the salad ingredients and dollop each bowl with homemade tzatziki.7
