These bowls are packed full of flavor and it’s the perfect recipe for batch cooking multiple servings at one time.

I only wish you had an actual printable recipe...This looks delicious!

Thank you Sharon! You can use the Print option that is at the end of each recipe (either by saving on your device as PDF and then printing, or printing directly). If you're viewing this recipe from our KetoDiet App, you can use the print option (icon on top left in the toolbar). I hope this helps!

I made this for our supper tonight & it was absolutely delicious!! My husband is half Greek & he thought the flavors were spot-on!

Thank you so much Denise!

I dont like yogurt, do you think I could use creme freche instead?

Absolutely, creme fraiche or sour cream are good alternatives to yogurt.

Does the nutritional info per serving include the cauliflower rice?

Hi Katie, cauli-rice is not included. Optional ingredients are not included in the nutrition facts.

This recipe is amazing! Thank you so much! Deborah

Hi, forbus single gals, does this heat up well, or do you just eat the chicken cold? Can't say I've ever had heated yogurt, but I am no chef so I have no idea. Great recipe. Very tasty. I love the Tzatziki! Thank you!

Yes, this heats up well (the chicken and cauli-rice). The salad can be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge for 1-2 days.

This is a great recipe!  I've shared it with friends who love it too!  Thank you very much.

Oh my gosh - the chicken really surprised me. It was incredibly simple to make and absolutely delicious.

Just wanted to tell you how much I loved this recipe.  I followed it, as directed, but just put it into a mason jar.  My family loved it!  So much, that my husband told me I needed to blog about it.  So I did. 😊
Thanks so much, it's rather hard sometimes to keep coming up with low carb, healthy options, so I appreciate your site very much!

Thank you Karenlee, I'm glad you liked it! 😊

Thanks for great recipes! I will try this, gives a nice different flavor and I like the multiple bowls for later uses.
