Nutrition Notes

Chicken breast provides lean protein, essential for muscle repair and promoting a feeling of fullness.

Ingredients

6 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided
4 cups cauliflower rice
⅓ cup chopped red onion
¾ teaspoon salt, divided
½ cup chopped fresh dill, divided
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
½ teaspoon ground pepper, divided
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1 cup chopped cucumber
2 tablespoons chopped Kalamata olives
2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
4 wedges Lemon wedges for serving

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the grill to medium.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower, onion, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is softened, about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup of dill.

Step 3

Meanwhile, rub 1 teaspoon of oil over the chicken and season with 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
Grill the chicken, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast reads 165°F, about 15 minutes total. Slice crosswise.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 4 tablespoons of oil, lemon juice, oregano, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.

Step 5

Divide the cauliflower rice among 4 bowls.
Top with the chicken, tomatoes, cucumber, olives, and feta. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup of dill.
Drizzle with the vinaigrette. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
