This Mediterranean Chicken Bowl is one of those simple everyday meals that deliver everything you need in one place. Fresh vegetables, lean chicken, fluffy bulgur, a touch of feta, and a drizzle of good olive oil come together to create a bowl that feels light, satisfying, and full of honest Mediterranean flavor.
The foundation of this bowl is the bulgur, prepared the traditional way without boiling. The grains absorb the water on their own and become soft and fluffy, making the whole process effortless. Underneath, a small layer of lettuce and arugula adds freshness and a pleasant crisp texture that lifts the entire dish. The sliced chicken brings the protein, the tomatoes and cucumber bring brightness, and the olives and feta add that unmistakable Greek profile.
This is the kind of meal you can enjoy for lunch or dinner, and it is perfect for meal prep because the ingredients hold up beautifully. It is also a great example of how easy it is to eat well when you follow the Mediterranean way of cooking.
