Mediterranean Orzo Pasta Salad
Tender grilled chicken tossed with orzo and crisp Mediterranean vegetables in a zesty lemon-herb vinaigrette for a refreshing and vibrant meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz chicken breast
0.5 cup orzo pasta, cooked
0.5 cup cucumber
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
5 whole kalamata olives
0.5 oz feta cheese
0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp dried oregano
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Season the chicken breast with half of the sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Grill or pan-sear the chicken over medium-high heat for 6-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then dice it into bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and the remaining salt, pepper, and oregano to create the dressing.
Add the cooked orzo, diced chicken, chopped cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and pitted kalamata olives to the bowl.
Toss all ingredients thoroughly until evenly coated in the dressing.
Top with crumbled feta cheese and freshly chopped parsley before serving.
