Instructions
Prepare the Greek Salsa: Combine diced cucumber, red onion, sliced kalamata olives, salt, pepper, lemon juice, chopped dill, and parsley in a bowl. Toss well to combine and refrigerate to chill.
Make the Tzatziki: In another bowl, mix coconut yogurt, diced cucumber, dill, garlic powder, salt, and lemon juice until smooth. Place in the fridge to chill.
Cook the Ground Chicken: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add ground chicken, breaking it apart with a spoon. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dill, parsley, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Cook thoroughly while stirring until fully incorporated and no longer pink.
Assemble the Bowls: Divide the rice or cauliflower rice between four bowls. Add cooked seasoned ground chicken evenly over each. Top with spoonfuls of chilled Greek salsa and tzatziki. Serve immediately for fresh, vibrant flavors.
Notes
Use cauliflower rice for a low-carb or paleo-friendly option.
Omit pepper to make the dish AIP compliant.
Substitute coconut yogurt with regular Greek yogurt if not dairy-free.
Adjust lemon juice and salt to taste for preferred tanginess and seasoning.
Fresh herbs can be substituted with dried in a pinch, but fresh is preferred for best flavor.
