Prep:
15 min

Cook:
25 min

Yield:
4 Servings

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes

1/4 cup olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup crumbled feta cheese

1 cup mixed greens

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper to make the marinade. Add the chicken cubes and mix well to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.

2

Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off. Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through. Meanwhile, prepare the salad by combining the mixed greens, feta cheese, and your choice of vegetables in a large bowl.

3

To assemble the chicken bowls, place a portion of the salad on a plate or in a bowl, then top with a cooked chicken breast. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil and lemon juice, if desired, and serve immediately.

4

For a quick and easy meal prep, prepare the salad and cook the chicken ahead of time, then store them in separate containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Simply assemble the bowls just before serving.

5

To freeze the chicken, place the cooked breast on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and put it in the freezer until frozen solid. Then, transfer the frozen chicken to an airtight container or freezer bag and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Simply thaw and reheat when needed.

Storage & Reheating

To store leftover chicken, let it cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply place the chicken in a microwave-safe dish and heat on high for 30-45 seconds or until warmed through. Alternatively, reheat the chicken in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.
