Loaded with flavor, these low carb Greek chicken cauliflower bowls are perfect for meal prep-lunch on the go.  Made with traditional Greek ingredients, they’re anything but boring while staying healthy and clean.

A bowl of cauliflower rice packed with Greek chicken, peppers, onions, chickpeas, tomatoes and cucumbers and topped with tzatziki sauce. A healthy meal prep recipe idea.

Lunch is one of those meals that’s low on my totem pole.  As much as I love soup and salad, there’s only so much a girl can take before she gets bored with the same old, same old!     

These Greek chicken cauliflower rice bowls are ideal for a healthy meal prep lunch that isn’t soup or salad…and they’re packed with Greek ingredients like:

Feta Cheese
Cucumber
Roasted Red Peppers
Banana Peppers
Kalamata Olives
Chickpeas
Red Onion
Grilled Lemon Chicken
Tzatziki Sauce (Yogurt Cucumber)

A big bowl of cauliflower rice topped with Greek ingredients likes roasted red peppers, red onion, feta cheese, kalamata olives, cucumbers and tomatoes.

I told you these bowls were packed!  Of course you don’t’ have to add alllll those listed ingredients, feel free to omit or add anything you’d like.

I tend to stick to low carb meals for my lunches, so I can indulge a little more for dinner, that’s why these low carb cauliflower rice bowls are one of my favorite go-to lunch recipes. 

Prepping them ahead and portioning them into separate containers for meal prep, makes them easy to grab and go in the morning, for one less thing I have to worry about (while I’m still half asleep getting ready in the morning)

Greek chicken cauliflower rice bowls with feta cheese, kalamata olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, chickpeas and topped with tzatziki sauce. An easy and healthy meal prep recipe.

These Greek chicken cauliflower rice bowls are a cross between a Greek salad and a falafel/chicken gyro. 

There’s an awesome Greek place John and I love to stop at every once and a while (and everyone else ‘cause the line’s always out the door).  They make the BEST falafels and gyros I’ve ever had and you pick which of the many toppings you want in your pocket.

I must’ve been craving one of their delicious pockets, because that’s where these Greek cauliflower rice bowls were inspired from: a healthier, low carb version, still with all the flavorful, colorful toppings.

My favorite part about these low carb Greek meal prep bowls?The tzatziki sauce!

Tzatziki sauce is yogurt cucumber sauce, usually with dill. It adds a light, creamy freshness to these cauliflower rice bowls.

I’m using a homemade Tzatziki Sauce recipe from Gimme Some Oven. You can also buy it already made.

Containers filled with cauliflower Rice, Greek chicken, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers and chickpeas. They’re perfectly packed for an easy meal prep for lunch on the go.

Have you tried my low carb Mexican cauliflower rice bowls?  They have the same great meal prep idea, but made with Mexican seasonings, corn and black beans. 

If you need some more easy and healthy lunch recipes, try these out:

  • Winter Vegetable Lentil Soup

  • 4 oz Feta Cheese, crumbles
  • ½ cup Roasted Red Peppers
  • ½ cup Kalamata Olives, pitted
  • 1 medium Cucumber, diced
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cup Banana Peppers
  • ½ Red Onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 15 oz can Chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • ¼ cup Fresh Parsley, chopped

Tzatziki Sauce (from Gimme Some Oven)-makes about 1.5 cups

  • 1 cups Full Fat Greek Yogurt, plain
  • 2 Garlic Cloves, minced
  • 1/2 English Cucumber, seeded and grated, about 1/2 cup
  • 2 tsp Fresh Dill
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1.5 tsp Olive Oil
  • Pinch Salt
  • Pinch Pepper

Instructions

  1. Mix all your dressing ingredients in a small bowl. Place chicken in plastic bag and pour half of the dressing on top of the chicken. Massage to evenly distribute, and place in refrigerator at least 30 minutes-overnight.
  2. Either on grill top, or in a non-stick pan, cook your chicken about 4 minutes each side until no longer pink and cooked fully through, set aside.
  3. Place cauliflower rice in large bowl, microwave for 5 minutes.
  4. Add remaining bowl ingredients: feta, red peppers, olives, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, banana peppers, red onions, chick peas and parsley. Toss together.
  5. Make your Tzatziki sauce: combine all ingredients together in a small bowl.
  6. Mix in remaining half of the lemon dressing, slice up chicken and add to your bowl.
  7. If making these for meal prep, evenly distribute into containers and top with tzatziki sauce. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Notes

*Tzatziki Sauce recipe from Gimme Some Oven.  I halved the recipe to make 1.5 cups but the original recipe will make 3 cups.  It will keep in an airtight container up to 2 days in the refrigerator.

My Favorites

Air fried apple fritters on top of a cooling rack with parchment paper. They're dripping with brown butter glaze. There's a cup of coffee and red apple in the background with two whole cinnamon sticks.
A platter with crockpot corned beef, that’s tender and falling apart. Chunky potatoes, onions and carrots are on one side and fried green cabbage is on the other side. An easy and traditional St. Paddy’s day recipe.
A white bowl of homemade cauliflower gnocchi that have been pan fried and golden. They’re a copy cat version of Trader Joe’s
