  • 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 (e.g., Culina brand)
  • 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 to serve

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Greek Salsa: In a bowl, combine diced cucumber, red onion, sliced kalamata olives, salt, pepper, lemon juice, fresh dill, and parsley. Toss well and refrigerate to chill while you prepare the other components.
  2. Make the Tzatziki: In a separate bowl, mix coconut yogurt, diced cucumber, fresh dill, garlic powder, a pinch of salt, and lemon juice. Stir until well combined and refrigerate to chill.
  3. Cook the Ground Chicken: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the ground chicken and crumble it as it cooks. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dill, parsley, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Stir continuously to ensure even seasoning and thorough cooking until the chicken is fully cooked through.
  4. Assemble the Bowls: Divide rice or cauliflower rice among four bowls. Top each bowl with cooked ground chicken, a few spoonfuls of the chilled Greek salsa, and a generous dollop of the tzatziki. Serve immediately for fresh and vibrant flavors.
