Chicken Tzatziki Dump and Bake
A quick and flavorful Mediterranean-style dinner made with tender chicken, jasmine rice, creamy tzatziki, and fresh vegetables—all baked in one dish!
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken tenderloins
- 240 grams Ready Rice Jasmine
- 1 1/2 cups Tzatziki
- 6 cups romaine lettuce shredded
- 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 1/2 cups cucumber sliced
- 1 cup fat free feta cheese crumbled
- pickled red onions optional
- 1/4 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice and zest, rosemary, salt, pepper, and oregano to make the marinade.
- Place chicken tenderloins in the baking dish and pour the marinade over the chicken. Let it sit for 10–15 minutes (or longer if time permits).
- Add the jasmine rice and tzatziki over and around the chicken in the baking dish. Gently mix to combine.
- Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 5 minutes until chicken is cooked through and the dish is hot and bubbling.
