This greek chicken bowl dinner could not be easier!
All you need to do is pour one bottle of Greek dressing into a crockpot with 2 lbs of chicken and cook on low for 8 hours. Then shred! From there you can get as creative as you want — top your chicken with your favorite toppings. We love tomatoes, feta cheese, cucumber (quickly marinated in olive oil, red wine vinegar and squeeze of lemon juice), hummus and tzatziki sauce!
The best part about this recipe is that you can make it in a large batch and use the leftovers for lunches! I like to add a base layer of lettuce in my to-go containers and use the leftover cucumber marinade for our salad dressing.
Update 2022: Our favorite dressing is the Primal Kitchen Greek Vinaigrette Salad Dressings & Marinade!
For a vegan (dairy-free) option, Trader Joe’s carries vegan falafel that we serve in place of chicken for Matt and they also carry delicious vegan tzatziki!
