Notes

My love for Greek Chicken Bowls started after a trip to the Mediterranean coast. I was captivated by the fresh ingredients and vibrant flavors of the region. I wanted to bring those experiences back home, and this recipe is my way of doing that. It's not just a meal; it's a little escape to sunny Greece, no passport required!
