Healthy Greek Chicken and Rice Instant Pot Meal Prep

Growing up, I looooooved going to Greek Town and eating all the chicken souvlaki – like to the point where I had one of my birthday dinners at a Greek restaurant. When I worked next to a Greek family owned fast food restaurant, I was pretty much always stuffed with chicken souvlaki haha. We were even told that if the owner ever wanted pizza, we were not to charge him since he was also so kind as to stuff our takeout boxes to the brim! Despite living off a diet of Greek chicken, I’m pretty surprised I haven’t tried to make a healthy Greek chicken and rice meal prep yet! After a few attempts, I’m happy to share with you this super simple Instant Pot Greek chicken meal prep. It takes little to no time both for the Instant Pot and non-Instant Pot version and it is definitely a flavour bomb!

So What’s An Instant Pot?

I have the Duo Plus 9 in 1 Instant Pot. The Duo Plus replaces 9 commonly used kitchen appliances – Pressure Cooker, Slow Cooker, Rice/Porridge Cooker, Yogurt Maker, Cake/Egg Maker, Sauté/Searing, Steam, Warm and Sterilize. It’s quite the multi-use product! Plus, because this is using the Instant Pot, it falls under the #OnePotRecipe category too! Minimal dishes! Win-Win-Win!

Tips for Making the Perfect Healthy Greek Chicken and Rice Instant Pot Meal Prep

I use these bento boxes to pack my chicken and rice to work – they come with little sauce containers too so if you choose to add tzatiki, you can portion it separately so you can remove it when reheating
Layer the rice on top of the chicken to avoid the rice burning (if you have an extra inner pot, you can cook this pot-in-pot style for the rice!)
If you can making this outside the Instant Pot – grilling the chicken is a great alternative

4 chicken breast cubed
1/2 cup chicken stock

Instructions

Instant Pot Instructions

In a bowl, mix together the rice, stock, dill, and lemon zest and set it aside.
In your Instant Pot, place your cubed chicken on the bottom then top with the oregano, rosemary, thyme, garlic, lemon juice, and stock.
If you use a pot-in-pot method, place your rice in your pot on top of a trivet. If you are not, pour in your rice mixture on top of the chicken.
Put on your lid, turn the nob to sealing, and set the pressure on manual for 7 minutes.
Once done, quick release. Optional: serve with tzatiki cucumbers, feta, and/or olives.

Non-Instant Pot Instructions

In a pot, mix together the rice, stock, dill, and lemon zest. Cook according to the instruction on your rice packet.
Season your chicken with the oregano, rosemary, thyme, garlic, and lemon juice. If you want to grill it, place the chicken on skewers and grill until it's cooked through. You can also oven bake the chicken: place the chicken in a baking dish and add in the stock. Cover the dish and bake on 400F for 15-20 minutes. Lastly, you can also pan fry the chicken.
Once the rice and chicken is done, combine and you can serve with tzatiki cucumbers, feta, and/or olives if you'd like.
