How To Make A Green Goddess Bowl
The first steps to making this easy recipe are to prep all of the rice bowl ingredients.
This rice bowl prep starts with mixing up the chicken marinade and pouring it over the raw chicken breasts. This can be done in a shallow baking dish, mixing bowl, or large resealable bag. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, place the green goddess dressing ingredients in a food processor or blender to fully combine.
After the chicken has marinated you can follow our tutorial on how to grill chicken breasts. Details also noted in the recipe card below.
Now cut the chicken into small cubes and assemble the rice bowl with all of your desired toppings.

Description
A delicious Green Goddess Bowl recipe with grilled chicken, homemade green goddess dressing, feta, dill, and pickled onions.
Ingredients
Grilled Chicken:
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (or avocado oil)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari or coconut aminos)
- 2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest, minced
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breast
Green Goddess Dressing:
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup fresh chives
- 1/4 cup fresh tarragon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon anchovy paste
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Other Bowl Ingredients:
- 2 cups rice of your choice, cooked
- feta cheese, crumbled
- fresh dill, chopped
- 1 avocado, sliced
- green onions, sliced
- quick pickled onions
Instructions
- Marinate Chicken: Put olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, worcestershire, garlic, salt, pepper, and lemon zest in a bowl. Whisk to combine. Place chicken breasts in a large bowl and pour marinade over top. Let marinate, a minimum of 30 minutes.
- Green Goddess Dressing: While chicken is marinating, add Green Goddess Dressing ingredients to a food processor. Blend or pulse until fully combined – don’t over-blend – there should still be little pieces of dark green herbs, but not chunky. Taste and adjust any flavors, seasonings, etc. as-desired. Set aside.
- Grill Chicken: Heat grill to medium-high heat (approximately 400 degrees F). Place chicken on direct heat (direct flame) and cook for 4-5 minutes per side. Move chicken off the direct heat (direct flame) so that it is cooking on indirect heat and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the chicken reads 160 degrees F on your instant-read meat thermometer. Remove from grill and let meat rest 5-10 minutes at room temperature so the juices can redistribute (the chicken will continue to cook during this time and the internal temp will continue to rise up to 5 additional degrees reaching 165 degrees F.). Cut into cubes.
- Build Bowl: Divide rice, grilled chicken, feta, dill, avocado, green onions, and quick-pickled onions between two bowls. Top with as much Green Goddess Dressing as you desire. Enjoy!
Notes
- Grilled Chicken: feel free to sub in some rotisserie chicken here, to make things quicker and easier!
- Dairy-Free: use dairy-free sour cream and a dairy-free feta cheese to make this dairy-free.
