Creating Dump-and-Bake Chicken Tzatziki Rice is straightforward and will leave you with a delicious meal. Follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a large baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and paprika.

3. Add Rice: Evenly spread the uncooked rice around the chicken in the baking dish.

4. Mix Broth: In a separate bowl, combine the chicken broth with the lemon juice. Pour this mixture over the chicken and rice.

5. Cover: Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. This helps to retain moisture while cooking.

6. Bake: Place the covered dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender.

7. Prepare Tzatziki Sauce: While the chicken and rice are baking, prepare the tzatziki sauce. In a medium bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, dill, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine.

8. Finish Cooking: After 35-40 minutes, remove the foil from the baking dish. Check the chicken’s internal temperature; it should reach 165°F (75°C). If the rice needs more time, cover it again and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes.

9. Serve: Once fully cooked, remove from the oven. Let it sit for a few minutes before slicing the chicken.

10. Plate: Serve the chicken and rice on plates, drizzling tzatziki sauce generously on top. Garnish with halved cherry tomatoes and fresh mint leaves, if desired.

By following these steps, you’ll have a delightful and flavorful meal that is both satisfying and easy to prepare.
