If you’ve tried my low carb meal plans, you know I’m a huge fan of low carb meal prep bowls. They make lunch time so convenient when I’m in a hurry. And, this Greek chicken meal prep bowls recipe is one of my favorites. Everything is made in one pan, it’s quick and easy, uses common ingredients, and it’s both paleo & whole30 if you skip the optional feta topping.

What Are Meal Prep Bowls?

Meal prep bowls are basically just a recipe that is made once and portioned into containers or bowls for eating later. This saves a lot of time and stress, because you can just grab a low carb meal prep bowl for lunch without having to cook!

How To Make Low Carb Meal Prep Bowls

There are a million ways to make low carb meal prep bowls – pretty much anything that stores well can be made for meal prep!

For this particular Greek chicken meal prep bowls recipe, here are the basic steps:

Brine the chicken.

We do this the same way I always make baked chicken breast.

Chop the low carb veggies.

Choose ones that have similar roast times. I used zucchini, grape tomatoes and onions.

Also, make sure the veggies are similar in size so that they cook evenly. If some types of veggies are more “hard” than others and need a longer cook time, cut those into smaller pieces than others. For the zucchini, tomatoes and onions, all the same size works great.

Coat the chicken and veggies with oil, herbs and spices.

For Greek chicken meal prep bowls, we use Greek herbs like dill and parsley!

I used dried herbs because it’s what I had on hand, but feel free to use fresh. If you do, triple the amount – 1.5 tablespoons fresh herbs to replace each 1/2 tablespoon dried herbs.

Olive oil locks in moisture. You could also add a splash of balsamic vinegar for extra flavor if you want to – this is listed as an optional ingredient.

Bake the chicken and veggies.

We do this all one sheet pan – quick, easy and minimal cleanup! And best of all, it’s all done a the same time.

Portion out into meal prep containers.

Portioning in advance means your meal is ready to go when you are! Sprinkle some feta cheese in there if you aren’t dairy-free/paleo. Either way, you’ll just need to heat and eat.

How To Store Meal Prep Bowl Recipes

Glass containers work best for Greek chicken meal prep bowls. They don’t affect the flavor, store well, and you can reheat right in there.

These are my favorite meal prep containers right now. They are a great size, and they have a vented lid that seals in moisture when reheating in the microwave. Of course, you could also remove the lid and heat in the oven if you have time to do so.

Simply portion the meals into individual containers and store in the fridge.

How To Serve Greek Chicken Meal Prep Bowls

Serving Greek chicken meal prep bowls doesn’t get any easier! Just heat and eat. That’s the point of meal prep, right?

If you prefer a bowl or will be serving them right away, you can just use regular bowls instead of meal prep containers.

You really don’t need anything extra to serve with these, but if you want, you could add a low carb salad or low carb soup on the side.

Serving Tip: To refresh meal prep bowls when serving, drizzle with a little more olive oil and balsamic vinegar after heating.
