Spiced Greek Yogurt Sauce:

Chicken:
- In a small bowl combine all of the spices and sprinkle evenly all over the chicken. Cook or grill the chicken until no longer pink inside and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before dicing it.
Cauliflower Rice:
Steps:
- Heat a medium-sized non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and spray it with cooking oil.
- When the skillet is hot add in the cauliflower rice, salt, cumin, coriander, garlic powder, and black pepper.
- Stir to combine and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add in the lemon zest and juice and sauté for another minute.
- Add in the chopped parsley, stir to combine, and taste for seasoning. Remove from the heat and let it cool for a minute before dividing it evenly between 4 bowls.
Assembling the Bowls:
- Top the cauliflower rice evenly with the diced chicken, tomatoes, cucumber, and chickpeas. Finish with a dollop of the spiced Greek yogurt sauce, a drizzle of olive oil, and a sprinkle of parsley and lemon zest.
