Greek Chicken Orzo
Nov 09, 2024 09:39 AM
There’s so much to love about this Greek chicken orzo. From the well-balanced medley of flavors (bright lemons, salty olives, buttery artichokes, punchy onions, fresh herbs… I could go on!) to the fast cook time (just 25 minutes!). Oh, and let’s not forget that it’s a one pot meal!
Why you’ll love it:
Mediterranean inspired and so fun. It’s a nice change from your typical weeknight salmon or sloppy joes (though you know how much I love those too!).
A great one-pan dish. The chicken and orzo are cooked right in the skillet (no need to cook the orzo separately), which helps make cleanup easy!
Flavorful and filling, but still light. This dish is bursting with fresh flavors but it’s not too heavy or rich.
A great way to get extra veggies on your plate. Peppers, onions, artichokes, and tomatoes…
Comes together quickly, especially if you prep your veggies in advance.
