These Buddha Chicken Power bowls are a new go-to meal prep lunch for me! They are so easy to make and customizable! The chicken can soak in your marinade throughout the day and your veggies can all be prepped ahead of time, so when it is time to actually make your bowls, you just have to plop your chicken on the grill real fast! This chicken is SO flavorful and the marinade is the perfect blend of sweet, spicy, and tangy. I will also include the recipe to my go-to healthy “dressing” that I like to serve with these. It is almost like a tzatziki sauce and can be made in under 5 minutes. You can cut your time in the kitchen even more with these bowls by getting pre-cooked brown rice, quinoa, protein, and more through Trifecta. If you like the sound of this recipe, be sure to try my Greek Chicken Power Bowls as well!
