Juicy garlic-marinated chicken paired with nutty quinoa and roasted vegetables — this Greek Garlic Chicken & Vegetable Quinoa is a high-protein, Mediterranean-friendly meal-prep winner. Whether you eat it warm from the oven or chilled like a robust salad, it holds beautifully in the fridge or freezer.

The Greek Garlic Chicken & Vegetable Quinoa (Meal Prep) is a cookbook exclusive recipe…

Juicy garlic chicken served with nutty quinoa and roasted vegetables. This high-protein dish works just as well hot from the oven as it does cold, like a hearty café-style salad. It’s perfect for meal prep – portion it up and enjoy fresh or from the freezer on busy days. 

Our Meal Prep recipes have always been very popular, one thing that the community really loved about our Green Goddess Chicken & Broccoli Meal Prep or the Portuguese Chicken & Rice Meal Prep is how well they freeze and defrost. 

I really wanted this recipe to check all the boxes… freeze & defrost well, high in protein and fit within the Mediterranean diet/way of eating.

I’m so incredibly proud of this recipe and honestly it could be served as a platter for entertaining through Summer.

FAQ Section

Can I freeze this meal?
Yes — portion fully cooled meals into airtight containers and freeze. Thaw overnight in fridge, then reheat or eat cold.

Does it lose flavour when cold?
Not at all. The seasoning is robust. Chilled, it becomes more like a hearty salad — just add a splash of lemon or olive oil to refresh it.

Is this low-carb or keto?
Not exactly — with quinoa as a grain base it has carbs. But you can reduce quinoa for lower-carb or swap for cauliflower rice.

Can I double the batch?
Yes — scale ingredients proportionally. Use larger trays or multiple pans to keep cooking consistent.
