Your favorite Greek flavors to go. Healthy meal-prep bowls packed with brown rice, roasted chicken and veggies, pita and tzatziki sauce. 
If your following my meal-prep series than this is another great meal-prep recipe for you. These healthy Greek inspired meal-prep bowls come together in under 30 minutes with very little effort. They are packed with chicken, veggies, brown rice, pita and a healthy yogurt tzatziki sauce.
The chicken and veggies are coated with a flavorful Greek marinade then pan roasted for 20 minutes. While the veggies are baking, this delicious tzatziki is than prepared. It’s made with yogurt, cucumber, garlic and herbs. I like to place the tzatziki in small 4-oz portion cups so I can just pour the cold tzatziki on the chicken and veggies after heating.
After the chicken and veggies are done, they are divided into meal-prep bowls along with brown rice and pita bread. refrigerate for 4-5 days and enjoy a healthy flavorful protein packed lunch that will satisfy and save you money too!

This is a fabulous meal, I have made it several times and it’s my favorite. The sauce is incredible! Thank you for such a wonderful recipe!!!
will be making this wknd, but minus rice, etc as I’m keto. I also will try this with pork eventually.
Oh, these look good. must try these.
Can you eat this cold? I don’t have a microwave at work, and there’s no point in reheating it in the morning if it’s just going to be cold again at lunch. On another note the recipe looks delicious, I can’t wait to try it!
