1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper

For the Bowl Base

3 cups cauliflower rice
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Fresh Toppings

1 cup cucumber, diced
½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
¼ cup kalamata olives, sliced
½ avocado, sliced
¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Creamy Keto Tzatziki Sauce

½ cup full-fat Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
½ cup cucumber, grated and squeezed dry
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
¼ teaspoon salt
pinch of black pepper

Instructions

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Add the chicken breasts and coat them well with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. For deeper flavor, marinate for 2–4 hours.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.

Step 3: Prepare the Cauliflower Rice

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add the cauliflower rice and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender but not mushy.

Set aside.

Step 4: Make the Tzatziki Sauce

In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, dill, salt, and pepper.

Mix well until smooth and creamy. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Step 5: Assemble the Keto Greek Chicken Bowls

Divide the cauliflower rice evenly between 2–3 serving bowls.

Top each bowl with:

sliced Greek chicken
cucumber
cherry tomatoes
red onion
olives
avocado slices
feta cheese

Drizzle generously with tzatziki sauce and sprinkle fresh parsley on top.

Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Keto Greek Chicken Bowls

Use chicken thighs if you want extra juicy and flavorful meat.

Drain the cucumber well when making tzatziki. Too much water can make the sauce thin.

Add more healthy fats by drizzling extra olive oil or adding more avocado.

Meal prep tip: Store the components separately to keep everything fresh throughout the week.
