Ingredients
  

Greek Chicken
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 cup red onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried dill
  • 0.5 tsp salt plus more to taste
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Bowls & Toppings
  • 4 cups cauliflower rice cooked (or regular rice)
  • 1 English cucumber diced
  • 0.5 cup Kalamata olives pitted and sliced
  • 0.25 cup red onion finely diced, for topping
  • 0.25 cup fresh dill chopped
  • 1 cup tzatziki sauce store-bought or homemade (dairy-free if needed)

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Cutting board and knife
  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Grater (for cucumber)

Method
 

  1. Prepare your base: Cook cauliflower rice (sautéed for 5-7 mins) or regular rice according to package directions.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced red onion and cook for 3 minutes until softening.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add ground chicken to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
  5. When chicken is mostly browned, season with oregano, dried dill, salt, and pepper. Cook until chicken is fully cooked through (about 5-7 mins total).
  6. Remove from heat and stir in fresh lemon juice.
  7. To assemble: Divide the rice base among 4 bowls.
  8. Top with the cooked Greek chicken.
  9. Add toppings: diced cucumber, sliced olives, raw red onion, and fresh dill.
  10. Finish with a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce on each bowl.

Notes

For meal prep, store the chicken and rice base separately from the cold toppings and sauce. Reheat chicken/rice, then top with cold ingredients.
