Introduction

These Healthy Greek Ground Chicken Bowls are a vibrant and flavorful meal that combines seasoned ground chicken with fresh, zesty toppings. Perfect for a quick dinner, they offer a nutritious twist on classic Greek flavors with homemade tzatziki and salsa.

A bowl with three main layers: the bottom left side has light beige cooked ground meat with a slightly chunky texture, the bottom right side holds a pale yellow cauliflower rice that looks soft and grainy, and on top at the center there is a fresh cucumber salad with bright green cucumber chunks, dark purple Kalamata olives, small pieces of red onion, and sprigs of green dill, all covered with a dollop of creamy white sauce with green herb bits. The bowl is off-white and placed on a white marbled surface. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

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)
1 cup coconut yogurt
3 tbsp cucumber (diced)
2 tsp fresh dill
1 tsp garlic powder
Pinch of salt
Juice of 1/4 lemon
2 tsp olive oil
1 lb ground chicken
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried dill
1 tbsp parsley (chopped)
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Salt and pepper to taste (omit pepper for AIP)
Rice or cauliflower rice to serve

Instructions

Step 1: Combine the diced cucumber, red onion, kalamata olives, salt, pepper, lemon juice, fresh dill, and parsley in a bowl. Toss well to combine and set aside in the fridge to chill. This will be your Greek salsa.
Step 2: In a separate bowl, mix the coconut yogurt with diced cucumber, fresh dill, garlic powder, salt, and lemon juice. Stir until smooth and chill in the fridge. This is your tzatziki sauce.
Step 3: Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the ground chicken and crumble it as it cooks. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, dried dill, chopped parsley, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Stir well and cook until the chicken is fully cooked through.
Step 4: To assemble the bowls, place a serving of rice or cauliflower rice in each bowl. Distribute the cooked chicken equally over the rice. Top each bowl with a generous spoonful of the Greek salsa and a large dollop of the tzatziki sauce. Serve fresh.

Tips & Variations

Use cauliflower rice for a low-carb option or quinoa for added protein.
Omit pepper in the chicken seasoning to make the recipe AIP-friendly.
Add a handful of chopped spinach or arugula to the bowls for extra greens.
For a creamier tzatziki, soak the cucumber in salt for 10 minutes and squeeze out excess water before mixing.

Storage

Store leftover components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. The chicken and sauces will keep well for up to 3 days. Reheat the chicken gently over medium heat to avoid drying it out. Add fresh toppings just before serving to maintain texture and flavor.

How to Serve

A white bowl contains a layered dish with three main sections: on the left is a pale yellow, crumbly grain that looks like cauliflower rice, filling about one-third of the bowl; the right side has a mixture of light brown cooked ground meat mixed with chopped green cucumber cubes, dark red sliced olives, and chopped red onion, topped with fresh green dill herbs; in the center and on top is a dollop of creamy white sauce with visible green herb flecks, adding a smooth texture contrast. A silver fork rests in the right side of the bowl, and the bowl sits on a white marbled surface with small dill leaves scattered around. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use turkey instead of chicken?

Yes, ground turkey works well as a substitute and provides a similar texture and taste.

Is this recipe suitable for dairy-free diets?

Absolutely. Using coconut yogurt for the tzatziki keeps it dairy-free while still delivering a creamy texture.
