Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup uncooked rice (Basmati or Jasmine)
– 2 cups chicken broth
– 1 cup tzatziki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 cup chopped cucumber (for garnish)
– ½ cup chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
– Lemon wedges (for serving)


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your Dump and Bake Chicken Tzatziki Rice:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil to prevent sticking.
3. Arrange the Chicken: Place the boneless chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom of the prepared dish.
4. Add Seasonings: Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper evenly over the chicken.
5. Combine Rice and Broth: In a separate bowl, mix the uncooked rice and chicken broth. Pour this mixture over the chicken in the baking dish.
6. Add Tzatziki Sauce: Spread the tzatziki sauce evenly over the chicken and rice mixture.
7. Cover the Dish: Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to create steam while cooking.
8. Bake: Place the covered dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender.
9. Check Doneness: Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). If not, return it to the oven for additional time.
10. Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove the foil, garnish with chopped cucumber and parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
