These make ahead Easy Greek Chicken Bowls are perfect for quick and delicious meals all week long!
As you all know, I have a thing for bento lunches for my kids. I love the idea of small bites of lots of different foods instead of just a sandwich and a piece of fruit. For a while now I have started making “bento lunches” for my husband and I that are a little more grown up. I typically start with rice as my base and then layer on a protein and lots of veggies. I can make a stack of them and have them ready to go in the refrigerator at the beginning of the week. Then when we are hungry (or my husband heads into work for a full day) we just grab and go. It makes eating a healthy meal during the week so much easier! (affiliate links present)
And with meal-time planning back in full swing with the kids going back to school and the frenzy of “what’s for dinner” begins every night thanks to homework and all those after school activities, Johnsonville is here to help! Whether you are looking for a sausage penne recipe for family Italian night, a quick, healthy mobile breakfast idea, or advice on the juiciest brats for your tailgate this weekend, Johnsonville is available 24/7 for 9 weekdays, starting September 5th
- Dial 844-9-SAUSAGE or TEXT 97406 (to the Bob Bot) and you’ll be greeted by a Johnsonville employee who will share recipe ideas, time saving tips and even step-by-step instructions.
- Just like last year, the folks on the other end of the line will be real-live Johnsonville employees in Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin. Because who knows how to cook with Johnsonville better than the people responsible for making it?
- Johnsonville is adding text messaging to the meal-planning mix this year thanks to an all-new Sausage Support Center operator – the Bob Bot. Text 97406 to reach the Bob Bot, a chatbot robot that is armed with all of the institutional sausage knowledge of other Johnsonville employees, with a little Wisconsin-charm to match.
- “Bob Bot” was created after real Johnsonville member, Bob – a 60+ year old Sanitation Coordinator & former Green Bay Packer player.

Easy Greek Chicken Bowls
One of our favorite bowls to prep are my Easy Greek Chicken Bowls. I love using brown rice as my base layer because it’s full of fiber. Then I add in a homemade Tzatziki sauce, fresh tomatoes, and a crunchy (and super easy to make) cucumber salad along with bite-sized pieces of grilled chicken on top! We could honestly eat this all week long…is that bad? 😉
And I know I share my love for these Easy Lunchbox containers for my kids school lunches but for us grown-ups, I super love to use these Pyrex glass containers! For various reasons but the most obvious is the fact that I don’t dare send my children to school with glass containers, lol! But honestly, I love them for my husband and I because they are the perfect size for a meal for us and we can also easily reheat our meals in them (minus the lid!) because I don’t like microwaving plastic!
I hope you enjoy this easy recipe to make your own Greek Chicken Bowls!
