Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 (16 oz) container tzatziki sauce

- 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Spread the cooked rice evenly over the bottom of the baking dish.
- In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with tzatziki sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat.
- Pour the chicken mixture over the rice in the baking dish, spreading evenly.

- Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with sliced cucumber and cherry tomatoes, if desired.
Notes
For a richer flavor, marinate the chicken in the tzatziki sauce for at least 30 minutes before baking. You can also add other vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or spinach to the casserole. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
