Greek Feta Chicken Bowls
Greek Feta Chicken Bowls! Gahh these are good. When making vegetarian meals for friends, one of my go-to’s is orzo with tons of veggies and a Greek-inspired vinaigrette. I made this for someone yesterday, and decided to switch it up a bit for our dinner and use ground chicken. I loved serving this chicken over lettuce and a bit of brown rice, but it would be great over orzo, couscous or quinoa. Ground chicken cooks up super quick, so this entire meal is one to remember when you're short on time. Ground turkey would also work well in this recipe! Enjoy this flavor-packed meal.
