Macros are for one serving as written. Make gives you more servings of the same size; Portion resizes one serving and moves the macros with it.
Ingredients
- 170g (6 oz) chicken breast
- 60g (1/3 cup) white rice, dry
- 100g (1/2) cucumber - 60g grated, 40g diced
- 60g (6-8) cherry tomatoes, halved
- 30g (1/4 cup) feta, crumbled
- 60g (1/4 cup) Greek yogurt, 0%
- 1 garlic clove (3g), grated
- 2 tsp (10ml) olive oil
- 120ml (1/2 cup) water, for the rice
- 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp fine salt, juice of 1/2 lemon
10 ingredients, each with the gram weight the macros above were computed from.
Method
- Cook the rice in the 120ml water: boil, cover, lowest heat 10 min, rest 10 min.
- Grate 60g of the cucumber, then squeeze it hard in your fist over the sink. Tzatziki fails for exactly one reason and this is it.
- Mix the squeezed cucumber with the yogurt, grated garlic, half the lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Chill it.
- Season the chicken with the oregano, remaining salt and the rest of the lemon juice.
- Sear in the oil over medium-high 5 min a side, to 74C / 165F, then rest 5 min and slice.
- Build the bowl with the rice, the sliced chicken, the diced cucumber and the tomatoes.
- Spoon the tzatziki over and crumble the feta on last.

How Plus worksTip: squeeze the grated cucumber until it stops dripping. Unsqueezed, it turns your tzatziki into a thin puddle within an hour in the fridge.
