  • 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cucumber, grated and drained
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 ½ cups long-grain white rice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a large baking dish with olive oil.
  2. In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, dill, olive oil, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside in the fridge.
  3. In your prepared baking dish, spread the rice evenly. Pour the chicken broth over the rice, and stir in oregano, salt, and pepper.
  4. Place the chicken breasts on top of the rice. Season them with additional salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of dried oregano for extra flavor.
  5. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  6. Remove the foil, scatter cherry tomatoes over the dish, and return to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and rice is tender.
  7. Once out of the oven, let it cool slightly before spooning over the chilled tzatziki and crumbled feta. Serve warm and enjoy!
