Today in @foodbymaria we’re making Crispy Chicken Edible Pita Bowls - using my authentic cooking method that hit the internet by storm - WE broke the internet ya’ll!

🍋👩🏻‍🍳Comment ‘recipe’ below if you want the recipe for the bowl/chicken or link for the Viral Vertical Pan Skewer! — it will be sent directly to your DM’s or tap the link in my bio to access our website. 👩🏻‍🍳🍋

The internet went wild for my juicy chicken, so I thought, “Why not go even bigger?” Move over, @CAVA—it’s time to make the ultimate edible Greek chicken pita bowl. Big shoutout to @smartchicken_official for the perfect base and @feelgoodfoodie for always inspiring with those viral hits!

Here’s the deal: I marinate my chicken in all the good stuff—garlic, @diamondcrystalsalt, pepper, rigani, full-fat Greek yogurt (because why skimp?), and a generous pour of my family’s liquid gold: olive oil. Once it’s all had a chance to mingle, I stack the chicken high on a vertical skewer.

Don’t forget to toss a cut onion on top of the stack to keep that chicken juicy and prevent burning! Now, for the edible pita bowl, I just bake it in a cake tin—yep, a cake tin. No fancy tools necessary, just good food! Then, I load it up with all the fresh essentials: lettuce, cucumber, @sunsetgrown tomatoes, chickpeas, pickled onions, tzatziki made with @siggisdairy, garlic sauce, @athenosfeta, and @mezzetta olives. This combo will have you eating like a Greek god all week long.

When you think Greek food, you probably picture those iconic Greek Chicken Gyros. Vendors line the streets in Greece with their vertical rotisseries, ready to make the most mouthwatering wraps and bowls. So why not take that juicy, tender gyro chicken and turn it into a bowl for meal prep?

Is your chicken still frozen? Problem solved.

Comment ‘recipe’ below in the comments and I will send you the full recipe directly to your DMs!

Slice it thin, toss it in a quick marinade (pssst @spiceology honey granules are insane and a must try) and let it thaw while the grill heats.

Brush with herby, buttery Parm sauce—and boom, dinner’s saved.

Always using my @webergrills

🧿 Welcome to Episode 9/20 of @foodbymaria Greek Blue Zone. A series where I’ll be sharing recipes for longevity. Today, we’re making Creamy Poached Cod with Tomatoes and Spinach 🧿

👩🏻‍🍳🔪 Comment “recipe” below, and we will send you the full recipe or tap the link in my bio to access our website. Don’t forget to save this post for later! 🔪👩🏻‍🍳

This Poached Cod recipe takes fresh, flaky cod and drops it into a bomb broth with sweet baby tomatoes, creamy coconut milk, and orzo. Each bite is the perfect mix of creamy, savory, and subtly sweet—total flavor vibes. Ready in just 40 minutes, it’s elegant, cozy, and super easy. Perfect for impressing at a dinner party or just chilling with family. Your taste buds will be obsessed with healthy, tasty, and low-key gourmet!

I love how versatile this dish is! You can easily swap out the cod for your favorite fish, whether it’s salmon, halibut, or even a more sustainable choice like tilapia. And if orzo isn’t your vibe, switch it up with rice, couscous, or quinoa to add your own personal twist. The possibilities are endless, making it perfect for any mood or occasion!

She looks just like Mykonos and Paros but filled with Greek locals for an authentic, wholesome Greek experience 🇬🇷🧿

We spent a week on this beautiful island and here’s what I learnt:

5 amazing fun facts about Tinos, Greece

1️⃣ The Island of 1,000 Dovecotes

Tinos is dotted with stunning pigeon houses, or “dovecotes” – intricately designed stone towers found nowhere else in the Cyclades. A photographer’s dream and a true piece of living history.

2️⃣ A Pilgrimage Hotspot

Every August 15th, thousands travel to Tinos for the Feast of the Virgin Mary. The Church of Panagia Evangelistria is a major spiritual landmark for Orthodox Greeks.

3️⃣ Island of Artists

Tinos is the birthplace of some of Greece’s most celebrated marble sculptors. Villages like Pyrgos and Isternia are full of ateliers, museums, and marble art on every corner.

4️⃣ Windy but Wonderful

Known as the Island of Aeolus, god of the wind, Tinos enjoys the cool meltemi breeze in summer — perfect for windsurfing or simply staying chill in the sun.

5️⃣ Foodie Paradise

From wild artichokes and sun-dried tomatoes to handcrafted cheeses and local wine, Tinos offers a farm-to-table culinary experience rooted in tradition and love.

Save this post for next time you’re planning a trip to a lesser-known but unbelievably beautiful Greek island 💙

This ice cream recipe is easy to make because you don’t need to churn it, but it still combines the rich, creamy texture of what you want in ice cream with the nutty taste of pistachios. This is the perfect dessert for a hot summer day.
