This Dump-and-Bake Chicken Tzatziki Casserole is a Mediterranean-inspired, no-fuss dinner made with juicy chicken, rice, veggies, and creamy tzatziki sauce. Everything bakes together in one dish for a flavorful, comforting, and easy meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, chopped
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice (long grain or jasmine)
  • 1 cup tzatziki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
  • Fresh parsley or dill, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large casserole dish, combine uncooked rice, tzatziki sauce, chicken broth, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Stir in chopped chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. Spread evenly in the dish.
  4. Drizzle olive oil over the top and cover the dish tightly with foil.
  5. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the rice is tender and chicken is fully cooked.
  6. Remove from oven, fluff the rice with a fork, and top with crumbled feta and fresh herbs.
  7. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use homemade tzatziki for more vibrant flavor.
  • Partially cook brown rice if using as a substitute.
  • Add spinach or olives for extra Mediterranean flavor.
  • Mix in extra tzatziki after baking for creamier texture.
  • Let cool before freezing in individual portions.
