How long should I marinate the chicken for flavor?

Marinate for at least 30 minutes. For deeper flavor, marinate up to 8 hours in the fridge.

Can I make Greek Chicken Bowls gluten-free?

Yes. Use quinoa or gluten-free rice and confirm all condiments are gluten-free.

What’s the best way to heat leftovers without drying the chicken?

Reheat gently in a skillet with a splash of water or olive oil. Use a covered pan on low heat or warm in the oven at 300°F until just hot.
