Instructions

Start by making the Greek salsa, which will provide a refreshing base to your bowls. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced cucumber, red onion, and kalamata olives. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the mixture and add the chopped fresh dill and parsley. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well to combine all the flavors, then cover the bowl and let it chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
While the salsa is chilling, prepare your tzatziki sauce next. In a separate bowl, mix together the coconut yogurt (or Greek yogurt), diced cucumber, fresh dill, garlic powder, and the juice of a quarter lemon. Add a pinch of salt for taste and blend until smooth. This creamy sauce is what brings your Greek bowls together, so give it a good mix and let it chill in the fridge alongside the salsa.
Now it’s time to cook the chicken, which will serve as the primary protein for your Greek bowls. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the ground chicken and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as you go for even cooking. After the chicken is browned, stir in garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried dill, chopped parsley, and the juice of half a lemon. Season well with salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing all the spices to infuse into the chicken. Remove from heat.
Finally, it’s time to assemble your Healthy Greek Ground Chicken Bowls. Start by dividing the cooked rice or cauliflower rice into four serving bowls. Top each bowl generously with the seasoned ground chicken. Add a heap of the Greek salsa on top, followed by a spoonful of the tzatziki sauce for that creamy goodness. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Be mindful not to overcook the ground chicken, as it can become dry. Keep it moist by removing it from heat as soon as it’s cooked through.
