Prep

Step 1. Bring White Rice, Water and one-third of the Salt to a boil in a saucepan. Cover and cook over low heat until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Take off the heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
Step 2. Meanwhile, toss Chicken Breast with half the juice from the Lemon, Oregano, Black Pepper and the rest of the Salt. Set aside while you make the tzatziki.
Step 3. Squeeze the grated half of the Cucumber dry in a clean towel. Mix it with Greek Yogurt, Garlic, Fresh Dill and the rest of the juice from the Lemon.

Cook

Step 4. Heat Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and no longer pink inside, about 8 minutes. Work in batches if needed.

Finish & serve

Step 5. Fluff the rice and divide it among bowls. Add the chicken, the rest of the Cucumber, Tomato and Red Onion.
Step 6. Spoon the tzatziki over the bowls and serve.

Tips

Good to know

Check the largest chicken pieces with an instant-read thermometer; they should reach 165°F.

Make ahead

Make the tzatziki a day ahead and refrigerate it in a covered container.

Leftovers

Cool leftover rice promptly and refrigerate in shallow containers; reheat the rice and chicken thoroughly, keeping the vegetables and tzatziki separate.
