Greek Chicken & Orzo Skillet Meal
I found this recipe in a cookbook my mother in law gave me and knew immediately I had to try it! I love everything in it (especially the feta cheese!) and the fact that it is made in 1 skillet, is just icing on the cake! This was SO delicious and the leftovers were even better the next day.
Save RecipeIngredients
- 2 Tbsp oil
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 1 lb chicken breast, sliced into bite sized pieces
- 1 medium zucchini, cut in half moons
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 3 – 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 and 3/4 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 and 1/3 cup uncooked orzo pasta (8 oz)
- 3 Plum (Roma) tomatoes, quartered then sliced
- 1 Tbsp fresh chopped rosemary
- salt & pepper to taste
- thinly sliced red onion
- sliced black olives
- lots of feta cheese
Instructions
Heat a large skillet (one that has a lid) over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5 minutes. Add bell pepper and zucchini and cook for 5 minutes more. The last minute, reduce to medium and add the garlic, stirring constantly to keep garlic from burning. Add chicken broth, water, and uncooked orzo. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep from sticking.
Stir in tomatoes, rosemary and cover and simmer for 5 minutes more, continue stirring occasionally.
Season with salt & pepper to taste.
Top with red onion, black olives and lots of feta cheese.
