Prep: 30 minutes
Cook: 30 minutes
Total: 1 hour
Yield:5 bowls

Ingredients

For the Greek-Seasoned Chicken

For the Tzatziki (See Notes for Whole30 Tzatziki)

  • ½ of one large cucumber unpeeled and grated
  • 1 cup plain, full-fat Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt for paleo
  • 2 large cloves garlic finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh dill

For the Cauliflower Tabbouleh

  • 1 12-ounce bag cauliflower rice thawed
  • ½ medium cucumber unpeeled and diced
  • 1 cup tomatoes diced (about 2 Roma)
  • 1 ½ cups flat-leaf parsley chopped
  • ¼ cup mint leaves chopped, optional
  • 2 scallions white and pale-green parts only, sliced thin
  • 1 clove garlic finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil divided
  • ¼ teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon salt plus more to taste

For the Greek Meal Prep Bowls

  • 3 tablespoons hummus or baba ganoush about 2-3 tablespoons per bowl (about 3/4 cup total)
  • 5 kalamata olives about 5 per bowl
  • crumbled feta if desired

Instructions

For the Greek-Seasoned Chicken

  • Preheat oven to 400º F. Combine all herbs, spices, and salt in a small bowl. Brush both sides of chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle generously with herb mixture. Bake until the meat thermometer reads 160º F, about 25-28 minutes for pretty thick breasts. Don't overcook! Remove from oven and set aside to fully cool.

For the Tzatziki (See Below for Whole30 Tzatziki)

  • Place grated cucumber (for tzatziki) on a paper towel and gather edges together. Gently squeeze the bundle to get rid of as much liquid as possible, then place on top of a sieve or colander while you prep the remaining items to allow the cucumber to continue to drain.
  • When cucumber has totally drained, stir together all tzatziki ingredients. Season with additional salt, to taste.

For the Cauliflower Tabbouleh

  • Combine all ingredients and season with additional salt, to taste.

To Assemble the Bowls

  • Slice chicken breasts into about ½" slices against the grain. Divide slices equally among 5 meal prep containers. Divide tabbouleh and tzatziki equally among meal prep containers, as well. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons hummus or baba ganoush into each container, to taste, and top with about 5 kalamata olives.

Notes

  • Garnish with crumbled feta, if desired, chopped fresh parsley, a light drizzle of olive oil, or freshly cracked black pepper.
  • Make your own baba ganoush at home using our recipe here.
