A low-carb, high-fat meal featuring marinated grilled chicken served over cauliflower rice with fresh vegetables and homemade keto tzatziki sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups cauliflower rice (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup full-fat plain Greek yogurt (ensure no added sugar)
  • 1/2 English cucumber, grated and squeezed dry
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (for tzatziki)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (for tzatziki)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives
  • 1/2 cup chopped cucumber (for topping)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Combine the olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add the chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
  2. Prepare the tzatziki: In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, grated and squeezed cucumber, minced garlic, dill, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir well and refrigerate until serving.
  3. Cook the cauliflower rice according to package directions or sauté in a pan with a little oil until tender. Set aside.
  4. Grill or pan-sear the marinated chicken over medium-high heat until fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.
  5. Assemble the bowls: Divide the cauliflower rice among serving bowls. Top with sliced chicken.
  6. Add the toppings: Distribute the feta cheese, black olives, and fresh chopped cucumber over the chicken.
  7. Spoon a generous amount of the prepared keto tzatziki sauce over each bowl. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Squeeze the grated cucumber very firmly to remove excess water; this prevents the tzatziki from becoming watery.
  • For meal prepping, store the chicken, cauliflower rice, and tzatziki sauce separately. Assemble just before eating.
  • If you prefer a richer flavor, use chicken thighs instead of breasts.
