These Mediterranean bowls are one of those meals that look fancy but are incredibly simple to throw together—especially if you’ve already prepped the chicken ahead of time. They’re fresh, filling, balanced, and perfect for lunches or dinners you can actually look forward to eating.
This is one of my favorite ways to use my yogurt-marinated meal prep chicken (Recipe link here). The flavors pair beautifully with quinoa, crisp veggies, creamy hummus, and a bright squeeze of lemon. No complicated dressing needed—everything works together exactly as is.
