A complete recipe for flavorful, low-carb Greek chicken bowls featuring homemade, keto-friendly tzatziki sauce.

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
  • 1 cup full-fat plain Greek yogurt (check for low/no sugar)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for tzatziki)
  • Salt and pepper to taste (for tzatziki)
  • 4 cups cauliflower rice, cooked
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, halved
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • Optional: Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. For the chicken marinade, combine olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
  2. Prepare the tzatziki sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the squeezed, grated cucumber, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and fresh dill. Mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
  3. Cook the chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Alternatively, grill the chicken until done.
  4. Prepare the cauliflower rice according to package directions or steam/sauté until tender.
  5. Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked cauliflower rice among four bowls. Top each serving with an equal portion of the cooked Greek chicken.
  6. Add toppings: Distribute the Kalamata olives, crumbled feta cheese, and sliced red onion evenly over the chicken and rice.
  7. Spoon a generous amount of the chilled tzatziki sauce over each bowl. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Squeeze the grated cucumber very firmly to remove excess water; this prevents the tzatziki from becoming watery.
  • For meal prep, store the chicken, cauliflower rice, toppings, and tzatziki sauce in separate containers. Assemble just before eating.
  • If you cannot find plain, full-fat Greek yogurt without added sugar, use full-fat sour cream or cream cheese mixed with a little heavy cream as a base for the tzatziki.
