Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Medium mixing bowls
  • Wooden spoon
  • Cutting board
  • Chef's knife

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked white rice or cauliflower rice for serving
  • 1 pound ground chicken 93% lean
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil for cooking
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • 1/2 lemon juiced (about 1 tablespoon)
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cucumber diced small
  • 1/4 red onion finely diced
  • 1/4 cup kalamata olives sliced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh dill chopped for salsa
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped for salsa
  • 1/2 lemon juiced for salsa
  • 1 cup coconut yogurt dairy-free
  • 3 tablespoons cucumber diced and patted dry for tzatziki
  • 2 teaspoons fresh dill for tzatziki
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder for tzatziki
  • lemon juice squeeze for tzatziki

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Greek salsa: In a medium bowl, combine diced cucumber, red onion, sliced kalamata olives, fresh dill, and parsley. Add lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Toss well and refrigerate to chill while preparing other components.
  • Make the tzatziki: Pat the diced cucumber completely dry with paper towels. In a separate bowl, mix coconut yogurt, dried cucumber, fresh dill, garlic powder, salt, and lemon juice. Stir until smooth and creamy. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Cook the ground chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground chicken and break it up with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5 minutes until mostly done. Add garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and dried dill. Stir in fresh parsley and squeeze lemon juice over chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Cook 2-3 more minutes until completely cooked through.
  • Assemble the bowls: Divide cooked rice among 4 bowls. Top each with seasoned ground chicken, a generous spoonful of Greek salsa, and a dollop of tzatziki. Serve immediately while chicken is warm.

Notes

  • Pat cucumber completely dry for tzatziki to prevent watery sauce
  • Don't overcook ground chicken or it becomes dry
  • Make salsa and tzatziki ahead for deeper flavor
  • Store components separately for up to 4 days
  • Reheat chicken in microwave 60-90 seconds
