Ingredients

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

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

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, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Greek Salsa: Combine the diced cucumber, red onion, sliced kalamata olives, salt, pepper, lemon juice, fresh dill, and parsley in a bowl. Toss well to mix the flavors, then cover and set aside in the fridge to chill while you prepare the other components.
  2. Make the Tzatziki: In a separate bowl, mix the coconut yogurt with diced cucumber, fresh dill, garlic powder, a pinch of salt, and lemon juice. Stir until smooth and uniform. Cover and refrigerate to chill and let the flavors meld.
  3. Cook the Ground Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the ground chicken, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until fully browned and cooked through. Season the chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, dill, parsley, salt, pepper (if using), and lemon juice. Stir thoroughly to coat the chicken evenly with the seasoning.
  4. Assemble the Bowls: Divide rice or cauliflower rice among four bowls. Spoon the seasoned ground chicken evenly over the rice. Top each bowl with spoonfuls of the chilled Greek salsa and a generous dollop of the coconut yogurt tzatziki. Serve immediately while fresh and cool.

Notes

  • For a lower-carb option, use cauliflower rice instead of regular rice.
  • Omit pepper to make this recipe AIP (Autoimmune Protocol) friendly.
  • The coconut yogurt tzatziki provides a dairy-free alternative to traditional tzatziki sauce.
  • Fresh herbs are key for authentic Greek flavor — do not substitute with dried herbs in the salsa mix.
  • Make sure to chill the salsa and tzatziki in the fridge ahead of time to enhance flavor and freshness.
