One of my biggest goals with healthy eating is to create balance but really delicious meals that also don’t require a ton of time in the kitchen (or clean up). I love eating healthy and I love feeling energized and vibrant but I also love the ease of simplistic nutrition.

If you love meals that feel fresh, flavorful, and actually satisfying, this high-protein Greek-style chicken pita is going to be a staple. It’s quick, bold, a little tangy from the tzatziki, and packed with veggies for color and crunch.

And because we’re all about functional meal prep here, I’m also giving you a second way to enjoy this same chicken mixture: a warm Greek bowl with roasted veggies. Make one recipe, get two meals. Easy.

If you want a done-for-you plan, we’ve also created The High Protein Reset, but let’s dive into the recipe first. ↓

The Star: Open-Faced Greek Chicken Pita

Servings: 4
Protein per serving: 34g

This is the version that comes together fast, and tastes like something you’d get at a café. The chicken mixture is the hero — savory, herby, fluffy, and delicious on absolutely everything.

Ingredients (per pita)

1 pita
~¾ cup chopped romaine
¼–½ cup sliced cucumber
¼–½ cup sliced cherry tomatoes
½ cup cooked Greek chicken mixture
¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
2 Tbsp feta cheese
¼ cup tzatziki
Fresh dill, for garnish

Greek Chicken Mixture (makes 4 servings of ½ cup each)

1 lb ground chicken
2 cloves garlic, minced
Zest of 1 lemon
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried dill (or 1–2 Tbsp fresh)
1 tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
1 egg
¼ cup breadcrumbs
1 Tbsp olive oil for sautéing

Instructions

Make the chicken mixture:
Combine ground chicken, garlic, lemon zest, oregano, dill, salt, pepper, egg, and breadcrumbs.
Cook it:
Instead of forming meatballs, sauté the mixture in a pan with olive oil. It will crumble into fluffy, golden, flavorful pieces — perfect for bowls and pitas.
Toast the pita:
Warm it in a dry pan until lightly crisped.
Assemble:
Layer romaine → cucumber → tomatoes → chicken → red onion → feta.
Serve:
Add tzatziki on the side (or drizzle it!). Garnish with fresh dill.

Second Option: Greek Chicken Roasted Veggie Bowl

If you prefer something warm and cozy — or you’re meal prepping — this bowl is perfect. The roasted veggies caramelize beautifully and pair well with the herby chicken and cool tzatziki.

Ingredients (4 bowls)

4 cups arugula
1 medium zucchini, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
½ red onion, chopped
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1–2 Tbsp olive oil
Salt + pepper
2 cups cooked Greek chicken mixture (½ cup per serving)
Tzatziki (¼ cup per serving)
Fresh dill (optional)

Instructions

Roast the veggies:
Toss zucchini, bell pepper, onion, and tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Air fry at 400°F for 6 minutes → stir → another 6–7 minutes until golden.
Build the bowls:
Add arugula to the bottom of each bowl.
Top with roasted veggies, ½ cup chicken, and a scoop of tzatziki.
Finish:
Garnish with dill or a squeeze of lemon.

Ways to Customize

Swap ground chicken for turkey, beef, or lamb.
Use gluten-free pitas or breadcrumbs if needed.
Add olives, hummus, pickled onions, or extra herbs.
For more protein: add 2–3 Tbsp hummus, more chicken, or extra tzatziki.
For lower carbs: skip the pita and serve over extra greens.

Coach’s Notes

This is such an easy meal to tailor to what your body needs.

If you’re hungry within 30–90 minutes, you likely need more protein.
If you’re still hungry around 2 hours, your meal may need more overall calories.
If you feel mild hunger within 0–20 minutes, that’s often just digestion kicking in — totally normal.
Make sure to customize to your nutritional needs.
If you listen to your body and let it lead you, it will generally tell you when you’re full, hungry, low in energy or even if you’re having an intolerance to a specific food. Start slowing down and tuning in so you can understand the cues your body sends you.
