Tzatziki Sauce
Combine all of the ingredients for the tzatziki in a bowl and stir together until combined. Taste for seasoning, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Cucumber Tomato Salad
Add all of the ingredients for the salad to a bowl. Stir everything together and taste for seasoning. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Rice
Combine the rice, lemon juice, dill, salt and pepper together. Taste for seasoning. Use par-cooked rice in a bag that can be cooked in the microwave to save time.
Greek Chicken
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and ground chicken to the skillet and use a wooden spoon to crumble the chicken. Season the chicken with the chopped parsley, all of the spices, salt and pepper.
When the chicken is nearly cooked through, add in the lemon zest and juice and stir everything together.
Assembling the Bowls
Divide the rice into four bowls. Top with equal amounts of the Greek chicken, cucumber tomato salad, tzatziki sauce and crumbled feta. Garnish with extra parsley and a lemon wedge if desired.
