Meal Prep Mediterranean Bowls
These meal prep Mediterranean bowls are an easy lunch to prep for your week! Loaded with fresh, Mediterranean-inspired ingredients to leave you feeling nourished and ready to go. I could eat these flavors every single day. So much goodness and it's just so refreshing, especially in the summer when cucumbers and tomatoes are in season. My favorite thing is to make these for a dinner and then utilize the leftovers for lunch all week! I'd definitely double it if you want a good amount of leftovers!

Instructions
For the Chicken:
- Cut chicken breasts into cubes. Pour into a medium sized bowl with oil and all the seasonings.
- Bake at 400F degrees on a lined sheet pan for 15-20 minutes until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165F degrees.
For the Tzatziki:
- Mix all the ingredients together & start dipping because it's DELICIOUS. I like to make this in the morning or the day before to let the flavors marinate together!
For the Veggie Medley:
- Mix it all together in a bowl and you're done. Season with salt and pepper to taste!
For the Quinoa:
- Rinse your quinoa under running water really well and then drain. In a small pot, add quinoa, chicken broth, ghee, and salt. Bring it to a boil. Cover and then let simmer for 15-20 minutes. Remove the lid and fluff with a fork.
To Assemble:
- In a bowl, add quinoa, chicken, cucumber tomato salad, tzatziki, olives, feta and optional hummus, red onion, fresh parsley!
Notes
For Storing: Store everything separately in airtight containers. The chicken and quinoa will last about 3-4 days. The tzatziki will last in the fridge for 1-2 weeks in an airtight container. The veggie medley usually will wilt so it's best the day of and day after!
