Description

A vibrant and healthy Greek Ground Chicken Bowl recipe featuring seasoned ground chicken, refreshing Greek salsa, and creamy coconut yogurt tzatziki. Perfect for a nutritious and flavorful meal that can be served with rice or low-carb cauliflower rice.


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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
