Wash and dry produce. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion; mince a few slices until you have 1 tbsp. Dice tomato into ½-inch pieces. Pick dill fronds from stems; roughly chop. Zest and quarter lemon.

Melt 1 tbsp butter in a #small pot{} over medium-high heat. Add minced onion; cook, stirring, until fragrant, ~{30%seconds}. Stir in white rice, chicken stock concentrate, 1¼ cups water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, ~{15%minutes}. Keep covered off heat until ready to use.

In a #small bowl{}, combine tomato with as much dill as you like; season with salt and black pepper. Set aside, stirring occasionally, until ready to serve. In a separate #small bowl{}, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, half the garlic powder, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper.

Heat a large drizzle of olive oil in a #large pan{} over medium-high heat. Add sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until just beginning to soften, ~{1%minutes}. Open package of diced skinless dark meat chicken and drain off any excess liquid. Add chicken, onion powder, half the dried oregano, remaining garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally and lowering heat if browning too quickly, until browned and cooked through, ~{4%minutes}.

Fluff rice with a fork; stir in as much lemon zest as you like. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.

Divide rice between bowls. Top with chicken and tomato-dill relish in separate sections. Drizzle chicken with white sauce and serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.
