Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to prevent gummy texture.

Place the rinsed rice in a wide, deep baking dish with the warm chicken broth and a pinch of salt; stir once to combine evenly.

Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, dried oregano, and ground cumin; drizzle olive oil over each breast.

Arrange the chicken breasts on top of the rice in a single layer, nestling them gently without submerging.

Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 35 minutes.

While baking, prepare the tzatziki by mixing Greek yogurt, grated and drained cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped dill, and a pinch of salt until smooth.

Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes to brown the chicken slightly.

Remove from oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes for rice to absorb moisture and juices to settle.

Serve chicken and rice with a generous dollop of homemade tzatziki on top.

Notes

A flavorful and fuss-free Mediterranean-inspired one-pan meal featuring juicy herb-seasoned chicken breasts baked with fluffy rice, topped with creamy homemade tzatziki sauce. Perfect for easy weeknight dinners.
