Greek Chicken Meal Prep Ingredients

Chicken. Tender Greek-flavored chicken, roasted to perfection, is the star of this show, offering a savory and aromatic centerpiece, accompanied by a colorful array of roasted vegetables. We used 2 pounds of skinless, boneless chicken breasts cut into 2 inches square pieces.

Plain Greek yogurt. The Greek yogurt marinade lends a creamy tanginess to the succulent chicken, infusing it with layers of flavor and ensuring tender juiciness with every bite.

Oregano. The aromatic oregano in the Greek yogurt marinade infuses the chicken with authentic Mediterranean flavor, imparting a zesty and herbaceous profile to every bite.

Garlic Powder. Can be replaced with chopped fresh garlic.

Olive oil. For taste but also for health benefits.

Dijon Mustard. Dijon mustard in the Greek yogurt marinade elevates the flavor of the chicken, imparting a subtle tanginess and depth.

Feta Cheese. The addition of feta cheese adds a burst of savory richness, enhancing the overall authenticity and indulgence of this flavorful dish.

Kalamata Olives. These flavorful olives perfectly complement the tender chicken and roasted vegetables, infusing the dish with a delightful salty-sweet balance.

Fresh Parsley. Fresh parsley, finely chopped and sprinkled over the Greek chicken and roasted vegetables, adds a vibrant burst of color and a refreshing herbal aroma, enhancing the visual appeal and flavor complexity of the dish.

Recipe Tips and Tricks!

• Marinate the chicken for 30 minutes in the Greek yogurt-based marinade infused with garlic powder, Dijon mustard, and oregano for maximum flavor.
