Ingredients

Scale

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 1/4 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 1/2 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. Mix well and refrigerate to chill and allow flavors to meld.
  2. Make the Tzatziki: In a separate bowl, mix coconut yogurt with diced cucumber, fresh dill, garlic powder, salt, and lemon juice. Stir until well combined and refrigerate to chill.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add ground chicken and crumble with a spoon. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dill, parsley, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Cook until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the spices are evenly incorporated.
  4. Assemble the Bowls: Divide rice or cauliflower rice among four bowls. Top each with a portion of cooked ground chicken, a few spoonfuls of chilled Greek salsa, and a generous dollop of the coconut yogurt tzatziki. Serve immediately for a fresh and healthy meal.

Notes

  • For a low-carb option, use cauliflower rice instead of regular rice.
  • Omit pepper if following the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP).
  • Coconut yogurt provides a dairy-free alternative to traditional tzatziki.
  • Fresh herbs like dill and parsley are key to authentic Greek flavors.
  • Adjust salt and lemon juice to taste for brightness and seasoning.
