HEALTHY GREEK CHICKEN & RICE BOWL
52G protein and under 500 calories a serving if you use my @kaizenfoodco high protein rice, or just about 40g protein and 500 calories if you use regular or brown rice!
I’ve lost over 130lbs eating healthy food like this thats high-protein, low-carb and most importantly, tastes INCREDIBLE.
Here’s how I made it:
1️⃣ First, the chicken. I placed 2 lb boneless chicken thighs to a bowl. Mix with 2 tbsp Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp olive oil, juice and zest of 1 lemon, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp oregano, 1 tsp sweet paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, salt & pepper. Marinate at least 2 hrs, but preferably overnight.
2️⃣ You can grill, airfare, or make this on your stovetop. Just heat a pan over medium heat. Drizzle 1/2 tbsp olive oil, and cook your chicken about 4-5 mins per side with the lid on. Flip, then cook for 1 minute on each side again or until cooked through.
3️⃣ Make your simple Greek salad… Just finely dice 2 Persian cucumbers, 1 bell pepper, & 1/2 small red onion. Add 1/2 cup sliced cherry tomatoes, 2 tbsp diced black olives & 1oz crumbled feta. Drizzle with olive oil, a splash of red wine vinegar (or lemon), a small pinch oregano, salt, pepper, and a handful of chopped flat-leaf parsley.
4️⃣ For the tzatziki sauce, grate 1 cucumber and squeeze out excess liquid. Mix with 1 cup Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp olive oil, juice of 1/2 lemon, 1 grated garlic clove, 2 tbsp fresh dill, salt and pepper until creamy.
5️⃣ Cook or prep your base. I cooked up my Kaizen lowcarb rice here, it has just 6 net carbs but packs 20g protein. You can use regular rice, brown rice, or quinoa, too.
6️⃣ Assemble the bowl: rice on the bottom, 4-5oz chicken, a big scoop of the Greek salad, and a generous dollop of tzatziki. Sprinkle extra parsley or dill to finish.
If you make it, be sure to let me know what you think!!
ENJOY! 🙌

If you’re looking for an incredible high protein, low carb lunch or dinner, you’ve got to try this Greek chicken and rice bowl. It’s one of the meals I eat pretty regularly during my 130 lb weight loss because it’s so good. We’ll start by marinating chicken with olive oil, yogurt, lemon, and a few easy spices. Give it a good mix. Let it marinade. Cook it up. This is going to go great with a simple Greek salad. Add your veggies, some olives, feta cheese. Dress it up with some great olive oil. Then pull together this simple but delicious creamy tziki sauce. For the base, I use my high protein, low carb kaisen rice, but use whatever rice you prefer. Grab a plate, top it up, and enjoy.

And what do you recommend people that can’t stand on their feet for an hour do? Some can’t stand for more than 5 minutes. So glad you were healthy enough to do all that prep, but many of us have NO HOPE of magically becoming a fricking chef overnight. Thanks for no help at all,
What kind of spices?
Where can I find the rice?
Yummy my kind of food thanks 🤩 ❤
It's very similar to Arabic food

Mixing the raw chicken in the pan is smart for many reasons ❤ this look fiire
Do you ship your rice to South Africa?
