I’m doing some meal prep, would you tell me how you freeze this. Is it just the cooked chicken?

Yeah, I would probably just freeze the cooked chicken…the remaining ingredients wouldn’t freeze well.

Amazing! Just finished making this as a meal prep for dinner for the next few nights and OMG exceeded expectations. Love that the only thing you have to actually “cook” is the chicken. I didn’t even have but an hour to marinate it and it was still AMAZING. Thank you!Reply

Hi there! I had fun looking around your website/blog. Your recipe for Greek Chicken Bowls caught my attention! I always keep chicken breasts in the freezer and I had everything else on hand, so it was a natural. Was fun putting this together and it was yummy. Everyone enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Jennifer, Just wanted to let you know that I made this twice already and it has turned out great! Perfect summer food and the chicken is delicious. I love that the same vinaigrette can be used as both marinade and salad dressing — efficient and very tasty. I also enjoy how herby the vinaigrette is, it really elevates the chicken. We used a *very generous* quantity of feta, the kind that comes in a block in whey, and it pulled everything together deliciously. In case you or anyone reading is interested, here are a few variations I used that worked out well:– I didn’t have quinoa, so I used whole-wheat couscous (from Trader Joe’s) and that was excellent. It really sopped up the dressing and tomato and chicken juices well.– Threw in a whole can (14oz) of chickpeas, because I didn’t want plain leftover chickpeas hanging around. Doing this made a bigger quantity of the salad part, of course … so basically I had enough of the vegetables for two separate (one-pound) batches of chicken a few days apart.– Accidentally forgot the olives but it was fine without. The second time I added olives on top.– Used boneless skinless chicken thighs rather than breasts. They turned out great; the same cooking time seems to work.– Maybe we just have big appetites, or maybe it’s because it’s delicious, but one batch of this made a hearty dinner for two … we didn’t have any leftover chicken! 🙂 Thank you for another great recipe. I’ll definitely make it again.Reply
