Combining all the benefits of the Mediterranean diet and Keto diet in one dish, these low-carb Greek Chicken Bowls are bursting with colours and flavours (plus, all the nutrients!). Skillet grilled seasoned chicken is paired with the Greek salad staples of tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, olives and feta cheese. Served with a side of refreshing, garlicky Tzatziki sauce or dressing, whichever way you want to roll with this gluten-free, low-carb chicken recipe.
Such a simple yet satiating and nutritious chicken salad bowl is great for lunch (at home or in the office) or as a quick and easy weeknight dinner. This delicious recipe is from the Cast Iron Keto cookbook by Alex and Lauren Lester (read more about the book below).
If you’re looking for tasty low-carb chicken recipes, this Greek bowl of goodness is a must-try. It’s a type of meal I love to make: easy, quick and nutritious while delivering 100% flavour.
Delicous Low Carb Vegetarian Recipes
We’ve got protein, lots of healthy fats and just enough veg to give you that boost in vitamins, antioxidants and fibre while keeping the carb count low.
Plus, it’s great for meal prep: you can get every element ready ahead of time and store in the fridge for a few days.
As I mentioned above, this recipe for Greek chicken salad bowls is from a keto cookbook that focuses on cooking with a cast iron skillet. I personally love a good cast iron pan as it’s a bit like a Swiss Army Knife in the kitchen.
Tasty Low Carb Summer Recipes
Even though the chicken for this dish was grilled in one of these marvellous skillets, you can use your regular frying pan or the barbecue grill to achieve similar results!
In my opinion, the key to making this dish an absolute standout is a good Greek seasoning for chicken. There are many good brands of premixed herbs and spice blends on the market like this one or this one.
I often make my own Greek seasoning by mixing some of these staple ingredients: salt, pepper, dried oregano, dried thyme or rosemary, garlic, paprika, and sometimes even cinnamon. You can add other herbs like parsley, marjoram, dill, peppermint or chives. Lemon zest – dried or fresh – is always a great touch!

Low Maintenance Keto Recipes To Make This Summer
Cooking times above don’t include the time for marinating the chicken which can be anywhere between 10-15 minutes and overnight. The longer you leave it, the more flavour it will have.
Alex and Lauren Lester from the blog Cast Iron Keto have put out a book by the same name containing 75 recipes for low-carb, one-pot dishes made in our most beloved kitchen tool – the cast iron skillet. If you’re looking to simplify the cleaning process and maximise flavour while keeping things keto, this book is unquestionably for you.
The book is divided into six sections: land, sea, date night, brilliant bowls, sensational salads, Meatless Mondays: vegetarian. The cast-iron skillet is either used to cook the whole dish as a one-pot creation or to make one of the key elements of the dish (e.g. grilled or roasted protein)
Low Carb Mediterranean Diet Recipes
In this book, you’ll learn a lot about Alex and Lauren both, and why each respectively chose a ketogenic approach in order to live their fullest life. You’ll then learn about both the basics of keto and why low-carb can be a stellar choice if you’re looking to transform your health or relationship with food.

Oh, and you’ll learn more about cast iron cooking and why it’s such a great investment! Many of us already know the joys of cast iron cooking such as easy cleanup, the long-lasting material, and cast iron being a non-toxic choice.
This collection is most certainly one for the meat lovers out there as most recipes contain primarily meat and have less emphasis on veggies than other keto cookbooks. This will give you an edge on cooking up perfect cuts of meat every time while also giving you inventive new ideas like the casserole take on a classic Reuben sandwich or blackberry pork chops.
Easy Low Carb Recipes
You’ll also find a few adaptations for grain dishes like a recipe for ramen. However, these dishes are primarily focused on recipes that need less altering to make low-carb – and the authors do a really good job too.
Unlike many other keto cookbooks I’ve featured recently, this one doesn’t have any treats or desserts, which I actually quite like. The focus is on savoury, balanced meals!
Overall, this book is meant to elevate your cast iron skills and capacity with new ideas you never thought to make either low-carb or in a single pot. Whether you’re fully committed to keto or just enjoy reaching for fewer grains and starches at dinner, this book makes a fabulous staple for menu planning, meal prep, entertaining, or just plain getting food on the table.

Summer is about long, sunny days, picnics, barbecues, water fun and playing outdoors. We tend to do more entertaining and cooking with seasonal produce, abundant in the summer.
On those warm days and nights, standing over a hot stove or using use an oven is not as appealing as in cooler months, so it makes sense that the summer menu looks a little different.
Best Keto Salads For Summer
I’ve collated some of my favourite Low-Carb Summer Recipes, including my own and those from other bloggers. I’ve got a mix of healthy summer salads, grilled and barbecued gems, smoothies, mixed bowls, stir-fries and desserts. These are suitable for anyone doing a low-carb or keto diet or if you’re after some delicious, healthy summer recipes.
Evenings in the summer are often warm and you feel pretty worn out from the heat, so the best dinners are those that require little cooking or that can be grilled outside or tossed together without turning on the stove or oven.
If something has to be cooked, it’s usually a protein, and in my opinion, should be quick and easy. A good low-carb summer dinner should also take advantage of the seasonal produce and be satiating yet not too heavy with plenty of colour, textures and nutrients.
