Yea. That’s how I feel about this recipe!

I love dinner recipes that are simple to make and packed with flavor. This recipe checks off both boxes which makes me happy.
It also is Whole30 friendly, paleo, gluten/grain/dairy free, and just SO yummy. It’s the perfect mix of protein, fats, and veggies while also having that amazing Mediterranean flair to it!
We love all things Greek/Mediterranean, from Greek Chicken Kabobs, meatballs, Spaghetti Squash Bake, to Greek Chicken Zucchini Noodles.

Why we love cauliflower rice bowls:
These bowls are so yummy – there’s a lot to love!

One of my favorite things that ShopRite had was precut veggies, including precut cauliflower rice. Now, don’t get me wrong. I know you can put your cauliflower in a food processor and do it yourself…but that is SUCH a mess.
Now.. regardless of where you shop, you have to give this recipe a try. These Greek Chicken Cauliflower Rice Bowls are LOADED with flavor, so simple to make, and taste absolutely amazing. I think you’re going to love them!

Herbs – You can sub fresh herbs for dried ones. If using fresh herbs, double the amount. ex: 1 tsp dried = 2 tsp fresh

I love that ShopRite has a dietitian on staff for a free consult! I still need to find a time to get mine! And I loooove these cauli rice Greek bowls. I have recently become obsessed with cauli rice (using it in place of bulgur in my tabouli recipe)
