I used skinless, boneless rotisserie chicken breasts which makes these bowls perfect for lunches on the go or super fast family dinners! You will be tossing the cooked chicken with a homemade Greek
Vinaigrette which adds a ton of flavor, so taking a short cut here won’t hurt anything!
You can either make your own hummus or use store-bought hummus here. I’ve made these bowls both ways and honestly, as long as you get a good quality pre-made hummus, you won’t notice a difference.

Hummus: You can either make your own hummus or store-bought here. Whatever you like best.
Pickled Onions: These are super easy to make and perfect to have on hand in the fridge! To make your own- combine ½ cup apple cider vinegar, 1 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt with 1 cup of warm water. Whisk until everything is dissolved. Thinly slice 1 red onion and add it to the pickle brine. Let the onions hang out on the counter for an hour at room temperature. Drain before using! Alternatively, the pickled onions can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
