1/2 teaspoon ground coriander

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Directions

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
