Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Long Grain White Rice
- 4 cups Chicken Broth
- 2 pieces Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 cup Greek Yogurt
- 2 cloves Minced Garlic
- 1 cup Grated Cucumber
- 2 tablespoons Dill
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon Oregano
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 cup Cucumber Substitute (Diced zucchini or bell pepper)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large baking dish, combine the rice and chicken broth. Spread it out evenly.
- Place the chicken breasts on top of the rice. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for about 25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender.
- While the chicken and rice are cooking, prepare the tzatziki sauce. In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, grated cucumber, dill, lemon juice, oregano, and paprika.
- Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and let it rest. Serve the chicken and rice with a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce on top.
Notes
For a vegan version, substitute chicken with chickpeas and use plant-based yogurt for the tzatziki.
