Ingredients
4 chicken breasts
1 cup long-grain white rice
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup tzatziki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
-
Place chicken breasts in the dish and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
-
In a separate bowl, mix the rice, chicken broth, remaining salt, and pepper.
-
Pour the rice mixture around the chicken.
-
Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake for 35–40 minutes, until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and rice is tender.
-
Remove from oven, spoon tzatziki sauce over each chicken breast, and garnish with fresh parsley.
-
Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
-
Don’t pre-cook the rice—it will cook perfectly in the oven.
-
Store-bought tzatziki makes this even faster, or use your favorite homemade version.
-
Cover tightly with foil to trap steam and ensure fluffy rice and juicy chicken.
