🥄Ingredients

GREEK-SEASONED CHICKEN:
🔸 1 ½ medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts
🔸 ½ tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
🔸 ½ teaspoon dried oregano
🔸 ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
🔸 ¼ teaspoon dried basil
🔸 ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
🔸 ½ teaspoon salt

TZATZIKI:
🔸 ½ of one large cucumber, unpeeled and grated
🔸 ½ cup plain, full-fat Greek yogurt 
🔸 1 large clove garlic, finely minced
🔸 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
🔸 ½ tablespoon white vinegar
🔸 ¼ teaspoon salt
🔸 ½ tablespoon minced dill

CAULIFLOWER TABBOULEH:
🔸 6-ounce bag cauliflower rice, thawed
🔸 ¼ medium cucumber, unpeeled and diced
🔸 ½ cup tomatoes, diced 
🔸 ¾ cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped
🔸 2 tablespoons mint leaves, chopped (optional)
🔸 1 scallion, white and pale-green parts only, sliced thin
🔸 ½ clove garlic, finely minced
🔸 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
🔸 ⅛ teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
🔸 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
🔸 ⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
🔸 ½ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste

MEAL PREP BOWLS:
🔸 1 ½ tablespoons hummus
🔸 2-3 kalamata olives
🔸 Crumbled feta, if desired

🥄 Instructions:

FOR THE GREEK-SEASONED CHICKEN:
Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Combine the dried herbs, spices, and salt in a small bowl.
Brush both sides of the chicken breasts with olive oil and sprinkle generously with the herb mixture.
Bake the chicken breasts for about 20-25 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool fully.

FOR THE TZATZIKI:
Place the grated cucumber on a paper towel, gather the edges together, and gently squeeze to remove excess liquid. Transfer to a sieve or colander to continue draining while preparing the remaining ingredients.
In a bowl, stir together the drained cucumber, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, olive oil, white vinegar, salt, and minced dill. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

FOR THE CAULIFLOWER TABBOULEH:
In a mixing bowl, combine the thawed cauliflower rice, diced cucumber, diced tomatoes, chopped parsley, mint leaves (if using), sliced scallion, minced garlic, extra-virgin olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, crushed red pepper flakes, and salt. Mix well and adjust the seasoning to taste.

TO ASSEMBLE THE BOWLS:
Slice the cooled chicken breasts into ½-inch slices against the grain. Divide the chicken slices and the cauliflower tabbouleh and tzatziki into meal prep containers.
Spoon about 1-1.5 tablespoons of hummus or baba ganoush into the container, to taste.
