Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup long-grain rice (such as basmati or jasmine)
- 1 ½ cups chicken broth
- 1 cup tzatziki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
