Greek Chicken Souvlaki Bowls – Low Carb

Low Carb Chicken Souvlaki Bowls – the perfect healthy, low carb 30 minute dinner bursting with Mediterranean flavors. Best of all, it’s full of fresh bright flavors with tender chicken, grilled vegetables, olives, feta on a bed of cauliflower “rice”.

We swapped out the usual rice pilaf and potatoes with cauliflower “rice” and tons of colorful grilled veggies.

It’s quick, simple and perfect for those warm summer weeknight meals outside on the patio. And you can easily customize this with your favorite protein like turkey, beef or even shrimp.

HOW TO MAKE LOW CARB CHICKEN SOUVLAKI BOWLS

1. Start off by marinading the chicken in a large zip-top bag. For an easier make ahead option, you can combine the marinade and prep the chicken the night before so that all you really need to do is grill and assemble the bowls before you sit down to dinner.
2. Once your chicken is ready for the grill, thread them onto skewers and grill on medium high heat.
3. Chop and prep the vegetables then add them to the grill.

The great thing about this recipe is how easy it is to customize with what you have on hand. I used zucchini, sun-dried tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, green olives, fresh herbs and some feta cheese. If you have some asparagus or broccoli, you can toss those onto the grill as well.

These bowls are also gluten free, low carb and keto friendly. For a paleo or dairy free option, leave out the cheese and Tzatziki sauce.
