Can I substitute ground turkey for ground chicken?

Absolutely. Ground turkey works beautifully and keeps these Healthy Greek Ground Chicken Bowls just as lean and flavorful.

How can I store leftovers?

Store everything in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep the tzatziki and Greek salsa separate from the warm ingredients to maintain freshness.

Can I make this low-carb?

Yes! Swap regular rice for cauliflower rice. You can go fully cauliflower or do a half-and-half blend for balance.

Is this recipe kid-friendly?

Very much so. If your kids aren’t fans of onions or olives, serve those on the side so they can build their own bowl. Sometimes letting them “DIY” dinner works wonders.

Instructions

In a bowl, combine cucumber, red onion, olives, lemon juice, dill, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate.
In a separate bowl, stir together coconut yogurt, cucumber, dill, garlic powder, lemon juice, and salt. Chill until ready to use.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground chicken and cook, breaking it apart, until no longer pink.
Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, dill, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Cook another 1–2 minutes until well combined.
Divide rice or cauliflower rice into 4 bowls. Top with seasoned chicken, Greek salsa, and a generous spoonful of tzatziki. Serve immediately.

Notes

Swap rice for cauliflower rice for a lower-carb option.

Cassava orzo can be used for a grain-free alternative.

For meal prep, store chicken and rice separately from salsa and tzatziki. Keeps fresh for 2–3 days in the refrigerator.

Omit black pepper for AIP modification.
