Creamy, satiating, protein-packed Greek cottage cheese bowls loaded with vegetables are perfect for lunch or dinner meal prepping.

Savory cottage cheese bowls are my favorite new high-protein lunch meal prep. They’re super filling, quick to prep, and taste really good when you eat them cold – no need to reheat!

The taco cottage cheese bowl I published was very popular, so I thought I’d share this Greek version that’s been in my rotation lately.

It’s packed with fresh veggies, healthy fats, and lots of protein. I always look forward to lunch whenever I’ve prepped this – it has so many different flavors in one bowl!

Ingredients

An english cucumber, a red onion, a pint of cherry tomatoes, a bottle of avocado oil, Greek seasoning, Kalamata olives, raw chicken breast, a tub of cottage cheese, and a green bell pepper on a white background.

  • Cottage Cheese – I use 4% fat cottage cheese because it has the richest flavor, but you can use any fat % for this recipe.
  • Chicken – Buy boneless, skinless chicken breast or extra-firm tofu for a meatless option.
  • Toppings – Fresh green bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and Kalamata olives.
  • Seasoning – You can use any mediterranean or greek seasoning blend. I like Greek Freak.
  • Oil – I prefer avocado oil. However, any neutral oil can be used.

Tips

  1. I recommend using English cucumbers as they tend to hold up better days after being chopped than traditional cucumbers.
  2. If you’re vegetarian, you can substitute tofu or chickpeas seasoned and cooked the same way as the chicken.
  3. For even more flavor, try mixing in a drizzle of Greek dressing or balsamic vinegar right before eating.

Ingredients

1 lb Chicken breast, cubed

1 tablespoon Avocado Oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon Greek seasoning

16oz Cottage cheese

1 English cucumber, chopped

1 cup Cherry tomatoes, sliced in half

1 Green bell pepper, thinly sliced

1/3 Red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup Kalamata olives, sliced

Instructions

Place cubed chicken in a mixing bowl and toss with the avocado oil, greek seasoning, and salt.

Add the seasoned chicken in a single layer to your air fryer and cook at 375F for 10 minutes, turning the chicken pieces halfway through to ensure even cooking. Or, place on a sheet pan and bake in the oven at 425F for 10 minutes. Set aside and allow to cool.

While the chicken is cooking, prepare four glass bowls or meal prep containers. Divide the cottage cheese evenly among each bowl.

Once chicken has cooled, add it along with your vegetables on top of the cottage cheese. Seal and store in the fridge until ready to eat, up to 4 days.
