Preparation
Start the chicken
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel; season with ⅓ of the spices and S&P. In a medium, high-sided, oven-safe pan, heat a drizzle of oil on high. Add the chicken and cook, 2 to 3 min. per side, until partially cooked. Transfer to a plate, leaving any browned bits in the pan. Reserve the pan.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, core and small-dice the sweet pepper. Medium-dice the zucchini. Mince the garlic.
Start the vegetables & rice
In the reserved pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high. Add the zucchini, sweet pepper, garlic, rice and remaining spices. Cook, scraping up any browned bits, 2 to 3 min., until beginning to brown.
Continue the vegetables & rice
To the pan of vegetables and rice, add 1 ¾ cups water (double for 4 portions), the demi-glace and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Cover, transfer to the oven and bake, 8 to 10 min., until partially cooked.
Finish the chicken, vegetables & rice
When the vegetables and rice are partially cooked, remove from the oven, stir and add the chicken. Top with the cheese. Cover and bake, 8 to 10 min., until the chicken* is cooked through and the rice and vegetables are tender.
Plate your dish
Divide the chicken, vegetables and rice between your plates. Top with the tzatziki. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
