Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat the grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with lemon pepper seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Drizzle olive oil on the grill or skillet. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let it rest.

  3. 3

    Cook the Rice

    In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

  4. 4

    Make the Tzatziki

    Grate the cucumber and squeeze out excess moisture. In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine mixed salad greens with your choice of dressing.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Slice the chicken and serve it alongside rice, salad, and tzatziki.
