Equipment

  • grill pan
  • skillet
  • jar with a lid
  • ziplock bag

Ingredients
  

Chicken and Vegetables

  • 2 breasts chicken pounded to an even thickness
  • 1 lb English cucumber quartered then chopped
  • 0.5 units red onion halved then thinly sliced
  • grape or cherry tomatoes halved
  • Kalamata olives halved
  • crumbled feta cheese
  • Tzatziki sauce I like Good Foods brand
  • chopped fresh herbs dill or parsley

Greek Dressing/Marinade

  • 1 scant cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 0.25 cups red wine vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon dried minced onion or ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon honey or granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 clove garlic pressed or minced
  • 0.75 teaspoon dried oregano
  • pepper to taste

Cauliflower Rice

  • frozen cauliflower rice as much as you want
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • garlic salt
  • pepper
  • dried oregano pinch
  • fresh lemon wedges

Instructions
 

Greek Dressing/Marinade

  • Combine all ingredients in a jar with a tight fitting lid then shake until well combined.
  • Place chicken breasts in a large Ziplock bag then add ⅓ cup Greek dressing/marinade, plus additional salt and pepper, then seal the bag and squish to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or up to several hours.

Grilled Chicken

  • Heat a grill pan over high heat, or preheat a grill over high heat until it reaches at least 500 degrees. Add chicken breasts then turn heat down slightly to medium-high and grill until the chicken no longer sticks to the pan/grill, and there are beautiful char marks on the bottom. If using a grill pan, spoon some of the marinade over the top of the chicken then flip and turn heat down again slightly. (Skip this step if using an actual grill as the marinade will cause flare ups.) Grill until the chicken is cooked through then remove to a plate and let rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing or chopping.

Cauliflower Rice

  • Heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add frozen riced cauliflower then season with garlic salt, pepper, and a pinch of dried oregano and saute until tender, 5 minutes. Squeeze in a drizzle of fresh lemon juice and stir to combine.
  • Scoop cooked cauliflower rice into the bottom of 4 bowls then arrange the sliced grilled chicken and remaining ingredients on top: cucumber, red onion, tomatoes, olives, feta cheese, Tzatziki sauce, and fresh herbs. Drizzle with extra Greek dressing/marinade then serve.

Notes

I like Good Foods Tzatziki Style Dip for drizzling onto these bowls. Estimated nutrition information includes ¼ cup dressing total, and does not include crumbled feta cheese nor Tzatziki sauce.
