Prepare satisfying, low-carb Greek Chicken Bowls featuring marinated grilled chicken and homemade, sugar-free tzatziki sauce served over cauliflower rice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large cucumber, grated and squeezed dry (for tzatziki)
  • 1 cup full-fat plain Greek yogurt (ensure it is low-carb or use sour cream/mayo substitute for stricter keto)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (for tzatziki)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (for tzatziki)
  • 2 cups cauliflower rice, cooked
  • 1 cup chopped romaine lettuce or spinach
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup sliced red onion (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Combine chicken pieces with olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
  2. Prepare the tzatziki: Mix the squeezed, grated cucumber, yogurt, dill, minced garlic, and salt in a small bowl. Stir well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  3. Cook the chicken: Grill or pan-fry the marinated chicken over medium-high heat until fully cooked through and slightly charred, about 6-8 minutes per side depending on thickness.
  4. Prepare the base: Warm the cauliflower rice according to package directions or sauté briefly in a pan.
  5. Assemble the bowls: Divide the cauliflower rice among serving bowls. Top with lettuce or spinach.
  6. Arrange the cooked chicken, olives, and feta cheese over the greens.
  7. Spoon a generous amount of the prepared keto tzatziki sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Garnish with red onion slices if using.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free keto tzatziki, substitute the Greek yogurt with full-fat coconut cream or mayonnaise mixed with a splash of lemon juice.
  • If you prefer a baked chicken method, bake marinated chicken at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Meal prep tip: Cook the chicken and tzatziki ahead of time. Store components separately and assemble just before eating to keep vegetables crisp.
