Instructions

Gather all ingredients and prepare cucumbers and garlic.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper and cook until golden brown, about 6-7 minutes per side.
Add uncooked orzo and chicken broth (4 cups) to the skillet. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low; simmer until orzo is tender, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper in a bowl to make tzatziki sauce.
Once orzo is cooked, return the chicken to the skillet and drizzle tzatziki sauce over the dish before serving.
