Ingredients
For the Greek Salsa
- ½ cucumber, diced
- ¼ red onion, diced
- ¼ cup kalamata olives, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Juice of half a lemon
- 2 tsp fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
For the Tzatziki
- 1 cup coconut yogurt (such as Culina)
- 3 tbsp cucumber, diced
- 2 tsp fresh dill
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Pinch of salt
- Juice of ¼ lemon
For the Chicken Bowls
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dill
- 1 tbsp parsley
- Juice of ½ lemon
- Salt and pepper to taste (omit pepper for AIP)
- Rice or cauliflower rice to serve
Instructions
- Prepare the Greek Salsa: Combine diced cucumber, red onion, sliced kalamata olives, salt, pepper, lemon juice, fresh dill, and parsley in a bowl. Toss well to combine and refrigerate to chill while preparing other components.
- Make the Tzatziki: In a separate bowl, mix coconut yogurt, diced cucumber, fresh dill, garlic powder, salt, and lemon juice. Stir until smooth and set aside in the fridge to chill.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add ground chicken and crumble it using a spatula. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dill, parsley, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Cook until chicken is fully cooked and seasoning is well incorporated, stirring occasionally.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide rice or cauliflower rice evenly among four bowls. Top with the cooked ground chicken, then add spoonfuls of Greek salsa and a generous dollop of tzatziki. Serve fresh for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For added veggies, swap rice for cauliflower rice. You can use fully cauliflower rice or mix half cauliflower rice and half rice.
- For a grain-free alternative, replace rice with cassava orzo to maintain a rice-like texture.
- When meal prepping, keep rice and ground chicken separate from the Greek salsa and tzatziki to maintain freshness. Use divided containers and consume within 2-3 days.
