Healthy Greek Ground Chicken Bowls

These healthy Greek-inspired ground chicken bowls are the perfect easy dinner or meal prep recipe! They’re gluten-free, dairy-free and simple to make.

Ground chicken and beef are the ultimate hack for getting quick and easy protein, and there’s so much you can do with it! From recipes like my Firecracker Ground Chicken Bowls to Sweet Potato Chicken Poppers, the options are endless. But if you’re craving Mediterranean-inspired flavors, I’ve got just the recipe here for you!

These Healthy Greek Ground Chicken Bowls are the perfect simple weeknight meal that’s packed with protein and veggies and topped off with a dairy-free tzatziki.

Why you’ll love this recipe

• Minimal cooking is required. The only actual cooking with heat required is the ground chicken and the cauliflower rice, which both cook very quickly on the stove!
• Greek flavors. I love Greek inspired flavors in recipes like my Greek Lemon Chicken Soup and Greel Lemon Sweet Potatoes, and this recipe is also heavy on those delicious flavors!

Recipe Ingredients

See the recipe card below for full information on ingredients and quantities.

• Cucumber, Red Onion, Kalamata Olives, Lemon, Salt, Pepper, Fresh Dill, and Fresh Parsley. These ingredients make the Greek salsa!
• Coconut Yogurt. I like the brand, Culina!
• Cucumber, Fresh Dill, Garlic Powder, Salt, and Lemon. These combine with the coconut yogurt to make the tzatziki sauce.
• Ground Chicken.
• Rice or Cauliflower Rice. Either works well to complement the bowl.

Substitutions and Modifications

• Ground turkey. This will easily swap 1:1 for ground chicken.
• Greek yogurt. If you tolerate dairy, you can easily use Greek yogurt instead of dairy-free yogurt.
• Tomato. As someone who is nightshade-free, I leave out the tomato, but you can totally add it.

How to make Greek Ground Chicken Bowls

Here are the simple steps, with photos, to make this recipe. Find full instructions in the recipe card.

Step one. Make the Greek Salsa by combining ingredients and setting it in the fridge to chill.

Step two. Combine ingredients for the tzatziki and set in fridge to chill.

Step three. Brown the ground chicken.

Step four. Build the bowl with rice or cauliflower rice, chicken, and top with a few spoonfuls of the Greek salsa and a large spoonful of tzatziki.

Tips & tricks

• Add more veggies by swapping the rice for cauliflower rice. You can either do all cauliflower rice or half and half rice and cauliflower rice.
• Swap the rice for cassava orzo. This is a grain-free option that still feels like pasta or rice!
• Don’t be shy with the fresh lemon juice. Seriously, the fresh lemon flavor helps to elevate the flavor of the dish as a whole. I like to layer the lemon onto the salsa and chicken, and then serve the bowls themselves with lemon wedges on the side to add some to taste.

For the tzatziki 

• ▢ 1 cup coconut yogurt, I like the brand, Culina
• ▢ 3 tbsp cucumber, diced
• ▢ 2 tsp fresh dill
• ▢ 1 tsp garlic powder
• ▢ Pinch of salt

• ▢ 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
• ▢ Rice or cauliflower rice to serve

Instructions

 

• Combine the ingredients for the Greek Salsa and toss well to combine. Set aside in the fridge to chill.
• In a separate bowl, combine the ingredients for the tzatziki and set it aside in the fridge to chill.
• To make the chicken, heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chicken and crumble until cooked through, seasoning with onion powder, oregano, dill, parsley, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Stir to fully incorporate the seasoning.

Notes

• Add more veggies by swapping the rice for cauliflower rice. You can either do all cauliflower rice or half and half rice and cauliflower rice.
• Swap the rice for cassava orzo. This is a grain-free option that still feels like pasta or rice!
• For meal prep. If you’re meal prepping these Greek Chicken bowls, you’ll want to keep the rice and ground chicken separate from the vegetables and tzatziki. A divided container is perfect for that! This helps to keep everything fresh for when you’re ready to eat it within the next 2-3 days
