Combining all the benefits of the Mediterranean diet and Keto diet in one dish, these low-carb Greek Chicken Bowls are bursting with colours and flavours (plus, all the nutrients!). Skillet grilled seasoned chicken is paired with the Greek salad staples of tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, olives and feta cheese.

Such a simple yet satiating and nutritious chicken salad bowl is great for lunch (at home or in the office) or as a quick and easy weeknight dinner. This delicious recipe is from the Cast Iron Keto cookbook by Alex and Lauren Lester (read more about the book below).

Greek Chicken Bowls

If you’re looking for tasty low-carb chicken recipes, this Greek bowl of goodness is a must-try. It’s a type of meal I love to make: easy, quick and nutritious while delivering 100% flavour.

We’ve got protein, lots of healthy fats and just enough veg to give you that boost in vitamins, antioxidants and fibre while keeping the carb count low.

Plus, it’s great for meal prep: you can get every element ready ahead of time and store in the fridge for a few days.

Cooking With Cast Iron Skillet

As I mentioned above, this recipe for Greek chicken salad bowls is from a keto cookbook that focuses on cooking with a cast iron skillet. I personally love a good cast iron pan as it’s a bit like a Swiss Army Knife in the kitchen. 

• You can a cast iron skillet in the oven, on the stove or over a campfire.
• You can use it to grill meat, bake a frittata or make a cookie. 
• It’s an investment BUT it is practically indestructible and will you a lifetime as long as you take good care of it.
• If you’re short on space, it can save you some by serving multiple purposes. 
• It’s nontoxic! Unlike nonstick cookware, cast iron contains no harmful chemicals like PFOA, making cast iron the perfect choice for a health-minded kitchen.

Even though the chicken for this dish was grilled in one of these marvellous skillets, you can use your regular frying pan or the barbecue grill to achieve similar results!

Greek Seasoning For Chicken

In my opinion, the key to making this dish an absolute standout is a good Greek seasoning for chicken. There are many good brands of premixed herbs and spice blends on the market like this one or this one. 

I often make my own Greek seasoning by mixing some of these staple ingredients: salt, pepper, dried oregano, dried thyme or rosemary, garlic, paprika, and sometimes even cinnamon. You can add other herbs like parsley, marjoram, dill, peppermint or chives. Lemon zest – dried or fresh – is always a great touch!
