Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 (16 ounce) container plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup shredded cucumber, squeezed dry
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Pita bread or naan, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Place chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
- In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, shredded cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, dill, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the tzatziki sauce.
- Pour the tzatziki sauce evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the tzatziki sauce.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
- Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Serve hot with pita bread or naan, if desired.
Notes
For a richer flavor, marinate the chicken in a portion of the tzatziki sauce for at least 30 minutes before baking. You can also add other vegetables to the casserole, such as sliced bell peppers or zucchini. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until heated through.
