Nutrition Notes

  • Cauliflower rice is a low-carb, high-fiber alternative to regular rice, offering a satisfying base while keeping the dish light.
  • 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.
