Ingredients

Scale

Greek Salsa

  • 1/2 cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 red onion, diced
  • 1/4 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 1/4 lemon
  • 2 tsp olive oil

Ground Chicken

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dill
  • 1 tbsp parsley
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • Salt and pepper to taste (omit pepper for AIP)
  • 2 tsp olive oil

To Serve

  • Rice or cauliflower rice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Greek Salsa: In a medium bowl, combine diced cucumber, diced red onion, sliced kalamata olives, fresh dill, parsley, salt, pepper, and the juice of half a lemon. Toss the ingredients well to fully combine and set the bowl in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the other components.
  2. Make the Tzatziki: In a separate bowl, mix together the coconut yogurt, diced cucumber, fresh dill, garlic powder, a pinch of salt, lemon juice, and olive oil. Stir well to combine thoroughly and place it in the refrigerator to chill alongside the salsa.
  3. Cook the Ground Chicken: Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the ground chicken and crumble it with a spatula. As the chicken begins to cook, season with garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dill, parsley, salt, pepper, and the juice of half a lemon. Stir continuously to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed and cook until the chicken is fully cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Assemble the Bowls: Divide cooked rice or cauliflower rice among four bowls. Top each bowl with a portion of the cooked ground chicken. Add a few spoonfuls of the chilled Greek salsa and finish with a generous dollop of the chilled tzatziki. Serve immediately for a fresh and wholesome meal.

Notes

  • The recipe suggests omitting pepper if following the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) diet.
  • Use cauliflower rice as a low-carb alternative to traditional rice.
  • For best flavor, let both the salsa and tzatziki chill for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • You can adjust the amount of lemon juice or herbs to taste for more brightness or herbaceousness.
  • Use fresh herbs whenever possible to maximize flavor.
  • The coconut yogurt adds a dairy-free and creamy texture to the tzatziki.
