A simple and flavorful one-pan meal with tender chicken, creamy tzatziki, and perfectly cooked rice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 cucumber, grated and drained
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup white rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, and lemon juice to make tzatziki.
  3. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and oregano.
  4. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet. Sear chicken for 3 minutes per side.
  5. Remove chicken and set aside. Add rice and chicken broth to the skillet. Bring to a simmer.
  6. Place chicken on top of the rice. Cover and bake for 25 minutes.
  7. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve with tzatziki on top.

Notes

  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creamier tzatziki.
  • Press excess water from grated cucumber to prevent a watery sauce.
  • Substitute brown rice but adjust cooking time as needed.
