- Tomatoes, cut into small wedges 8 oz
- Feta cheese, 8 oz cut into small cubes
- 1/2 green pepper, sliced
- 4 thinly sliced chicken breasts, precooked
- 1 lb cauliflower rice, sauted
- 4 cups lettuce

- 1/4 cup+ red wine vinegar dressing
Instructions
Cook the Chicken
- Any pre-cooked or store-bought rotisserie chicken will work for the recipe but here's a simple way to quickly cook chicken if it's needed. You'll need 2 large chicken breasts, 1 Tbsp olive oil, 1 Tbsp melted butter, 1/2 tsp fine sea salt, and 1/4 tsp ground black pepper.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prepare the chicken by cutting two large chicken breasts in half, cutting off the fat. Blot the chicken breast dry, removing some of the moisture helps make the breasts crispy.
- Lay the chicken cutlets on a baking sheet.
- In a small bowl mix the olive oil and melted butter. Brush the oil and butter mixture onto both sides of the chicken. Sprinkle the chicken with sea salt and pepper.
- Bake the thin chicken breasts for a total of 12-13 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken is 160 F. Flip the chicken halfway through the cooking time. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with the pan juices.
Make the Greek Salad
- Prep the Greek salad vegetables by slicing the onions, cucumber, and green pepper, and cutting the tomato into sections.
- Add the vegetables to a medium-sized bowl and add the red wine vinegar dressing, dill, and feta cheese crumbles. Combine well and set aside.
- Cook the Cauliflower Rice
- Heat a medium-size non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil to the pan.
- Add the 1 lb bag of cauliflower rice to the pan and saute it until the cauliflower is cooked through. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble
- You'll be layering the vegetables in a bowl or meal prep container. Place the chopped lettuce in the bottom of the bowl.
- Top the lettuce with the Greek salad.
- Add cauliflower rice and top it with a sliced pre-cooked chicken breast. Serve and enjoy! This is a great recipe for meal prep lunches or dinner and makes 4 servings.
