Greek Chicken Sweet Potato Bowls
A high-protein bowl with bright salad, warm sweet potatoes, and enough feta and tzatziki to make it worth repeating.

This is the kind of bowl that earns a repeat slot because every part is doing something useful. The chicken brings the heavier seasoning, the sweet potatoes add warmth and sweetness, and the cucumber-tomato salad keeps the whole thing from turning flat.
It is also good meal-prep math. You get four real servings, the components hold up well, and the pita plus feta plus tzatziki setup makes it feel more complete than a standard chicken-and-vegetable container.
