One Skillet Greek Chicken and Orzo with Tomatoes, Feta, and Tzatziki

Doubling the recipe, needed more water for the orzo and not double the olives.

This was really nice and easy to make. Made 30.8.24

I added some lemons to the orzo as it cooked and we loved it.

Omitted the olives, and added red onions. Cooked the orzo separately and added that to the chicken, garlic, onion, and bell pepper mixture. Kept the herbs fresh and added it when mixing everything together.

Obsessed with this one.

Instructions 1. In a large skillet, toss together the olive oil, chicken, oregano, paprika, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook over medium-high heat until the chicken is browned all over and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Stir in the balsamic vinegar and garlic, cook another minute. Remove the chicken from the skillet. 2. To the skillet, add the bell peppers. Cook until soft, 2-3 minutes. Add the orzo and 2 1/2 cups water. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often until almost all the water is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Stir the chicken and olives into the orzo. Allow the chicken to warm through, about 3 minutes. 3. Meanwhile, toss all the ingredients for the tomatoes together in a bowl. Season with salt and red pepper flakes. 4. To serve, spoon the tomatoes over the chicken and gently toss. Serve each topped with feta cheese and tzatziki.

Love this recipe!

Absolutely delicious. There are only two of us I don't have fresh oregano so I used dried and Greek seasoning mix, with 1 cup orzo and 1.5 cup water and 2 small tomatoes with 2 tbs olive oil and a handful of basil and it was great

Per the notes below. More water needs to be added to Orzo. When adding back the chicken I added the olives and tomatoes with it aswell. Really good!!

Delicious!! - let the oil get hot before putting the chicken in (helps it get crispy) - leave the olives out and use as a topping instead - orzo needs a lot more water than the recipe calls for. - put some tomatoes in when you add the chicken back in for some slightly stewed tomatoes. - zucchini might be nice in this.

So yummy! Lots of flavor! I added a little extra water to the orzo pasta.

It was delicious. The 2 cups of water is definitely not cooking the orzo. I probably added almost six cups of water. It may be my lousy Samsung cooktop. Love the flavors. Great leftover.

Quick, easy, packed with flavour and delicious. The steps are nicely layed out so that you have time to do the extra bits as you go, instead of needing to prep loads in advance. We swapped out orzo for another small pasta and it was just as delicious

I used 4 chicken breasts and cut into strips/cubes

Fantastic recipe

Second time around was even better than the first. This time I used this big stainless steel wok I have (with lid!), and it worked perfectly; the orzo sank into the liquid better and retained more moisture, so I didn’t have to add as much at the end. (Still had to add about 3/4 cup extra water). Use volume, not weight, to measure the orzo. Omitted olives for preference, but I wouldn’t skip either the tomatoes or the peppers since otherwise the pasta and chicken would be quite dense. Very good flavor, will make again!
