Method

0
Pat the chicken breast dry and cut into bite-size strips or cubes.
1
In a bowl, mix 80 g Greek yogurt, lemon juice, dried oregano, ground cumin, smoked paprika, half of the salt, and half of the black pepper.
2
Add the chicken pieces to the yogurt mixture, stir to coat well, and let marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.
3
Trim the ends of the zucchini and cut into half-moons about 0.5 cm thick. Dice the red bell pepper into small pieces. Finely chop the fresh parsley and dill. Mince the garlic clove.
4
Heat olive oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat.
5
Add the marinated chicken to the pan in a single layer, leaving excess marinade in the bowl. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes without moving, then flip and cook another 3 to 4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken to a plate and keep warm.
6
In the same pan, reduce heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring, until fragrant.
7
Add the zucchini and red bell pepper to the pan. Season with the remaining salt and black pepper. Sauté for 4 to 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp. Remove to the plate with the chicken.
8
Add the cauliflower rice to the same pan. Cook over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring often, until heated through and slightly golden in spots. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of extra salt and pepper if desired.
9
In a small bowl, combine the remaining 70 g Greek yogurt with the chopped parsley and dill. Stir to make a simple herb yogurt sauce and taste for seasoning.
10
To serve, divide the cauliflower rice between two bowls. Top each with half of the chicken and sautéed vegetables.
11
Spoon the herb yogurt sauce over the bowls and serve immediately.
