Greek Chicken Hummus Bowls

Juicy, flavorful, and filling these Greek Chicken Hummus Bowls are the perfect lunch meal prep recipe. Made with grilled greek marinated chicken, creamy hummus, fresh cucumbers, and crunchy pita chips, these healthy hummus and chicken bowls will be a family favorite!

Confession, I am not a big fan of leftovers. However, I love to up cycle leftovers because I am more likely to finish them when I repurpose them into something new.

Take my juicy southwest chicken breasts for example. They are excellent on their own but come day 2 I want them in a burrito bowl. Day 3 of these zesty chicken breasts is looking like southwest chicken tacos.

With that in mind, these Greek Chicken Hummus Bowls came from my love affair with this marinated lemon and parsley chicken thigh recipe and my obsession with finishing my leftovers.

Greek Marinated Chicken

• Make the marinade– Whisk together lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, garlic, parsley, salt, pepper and oregano.

• Flip and cook for an additional 6 minutes.
• Check the internal temperature of the thickest part of the chicken thigh to see that they are roughly 165°F.
• Remove the pieces that are cooked through and leave any additional pieces on that may need an extra minute or two.
• Let the chicken rest about 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Preparing Greek Chicken Hummus Bowls for Meal Prep
