Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s your grocery list, plus a few pantry staples you probably already have:

For the Chicken:

3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tbsp Italian or Greek seasoning
1 tsp honey
Chili flakes, salt, and black pepper to taste
1½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cubed

For the Bowl:

3 cups chopped kale
½ cup pitted Greek olives
¼ cup peperoncini
3 tbsp sesame seeds or pine nuts
Cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower—your pick)
Fresh chopped dill, for serving

For the Tahini Feta Sauce:

4–6 oz feta cheese
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
3 tbsp tahini
1 clove garlic, grated
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp honey

How to Make Greek Chicken Bowls with Tahini Feta Sauce

Step 1: Roast the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 425°F. On a baking sheet, toss your cubed chicken with 2 tbsp olive oil, Dijon, chopped garlic, Italian/Greek seasoning, honey, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Spread it out in a single layer and roast for 15 minutes. Give it a toss and pop it back in for 5–10 more minutes, or until fully cooked and slightly golden.

Step 2: Kale Salad, the Easy Way
While the chicken is roasting, mix your kale with 2 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, olives, peperoncini, sesame seeds (or pine nuts), plus a pinch of salt and chili flakes. If you’re not a fan of raw kale, throw it on the sheet pan with the chicken during the last 1–2 minutes to wilt it slightly. Trust me, even kale skeptics will love it this way.

Step 3: Blend the Tahini Feta Sauce
In a blender, combine the feta, Greek yogurt, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, honey, and ¼ cup water. Blend until creamy. If it’s too thick, just add a little more water to loosen it up. Taste and adjust—add more chili flakes if you like a kick, or a pinch of salt if needed.

Step 4: Assemble Like a Pro
Layer rice into bowls, then top with the kale salad and roasted chicken. Drizzle generously with your tahini feta sauce (don’t be shy—this is the good stuff). Finish with a sprinkle of fresh dill for that extra Greek flair.

Aneta’s Kitchen Tip

If you’re out of tahini or just don’t love the flavor, swap it with a little extra Greek yogurt and olive oil. And if you’ve got leftover rotisserie chicken, this is a fantastic way to give it new life. Dinner hero status: unlocked.

A Little Backstory from My Table to Yours

Now it’s a repeat request in my house, especially from my daughter who swears she doesn’t like kale. Go figure.
